Well I'll be a Monkey's Uncas Yantic Falls, Norwich November 14, 2008 Next time I'm in Norwich, I will take some newer photos of these falls. I promise.

74. Plainville Historic Center
Ah Oui, Ville-de-Plaine Plainville (Google Maps Location) October 1, 2008 Note: All early CTMQ posts have small, vertical, rather terrible pictures. Sorry.

Colton-Hayes Tobacco Barn Museum
No Hayes in this Barn Granby (Google Maps Location) July 2008 This is one of several Salmon Brook Historical Society Museums.

You Must Be Pulling My String Mansfield (Google Maps Location) August 25, 2007 Since my original visit, the museum moved from its original location at the old Mansfield Training School to a new building in the new "downtown" part of the UConn campus.

Special Joys Doll & Toy Museum (Closed)
Dolly IS A Cracker Coventry (Google Maps Location) August 25, 2007 This post is only about the doll shop/museum and NOT the Bed and Breakfast.
