Saugatuck Trail Easton to Weston, ~12 miles December 2007 - I completed the Saugatuck Trail in 2007 in just a couple of hours. Then CFPA extended in in 2018 and linked it up with the newer Aspetuck Trail. So now I have to write this introduction page because now I have to hike the trail in two part. But at … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Easton
Everything Easton I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Easton CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If I’ve … [Read more...]
Easton’s Town Trails

NHL: Ida Tarbell House
Ida Tarbell House CT National Historic Landmark Easton (Private Residence) I really enjoyed this National Historic Landmark. For one thing, the drive to (and from) it through Easton is beautiful.

Helen Keller’s House
Can’t Hardly See or Hear the Road From The House Easton A rarity: I sought out a house that does not appear on any list or any trail nor does it have a museum inside it. It is merely the house that Helen Keller lived in during her final years on this great blue marble called Earth. That’s all, nothing more. … [Read more...]
