DEHN-DEH-DEHHHHHNNNN! Manchester (Google Maps location) December 10, 2016 MCC's Dehn Gallery closed in 2019. The space was converted to Work_Space, a co-working and meeting space which also contains three tiny art galleries if you care to check that out. I don't. Upon reflection, I should have saved the Dehn … [Read more...]
Enfield Athletic Hall of Fame
EnField of Dreams Enfield (Google Maps location) December 2016 CT museum visit #338. Easiest punned title ever? Certainly one of them, yes. This is yet another little place on my massive list of museums that we all agree is not a museum. But as you now know, I don't care. I made the effort to go there (and … [Read more...]
208. Fort Saybrook Monument Park
A Monumental Park Old Saybrook (Google Maps location) May 18, 2011 Here's the deal: This place isn't a museum and this page isn't going to get you to hop in your car and drive there. When I originally visited in 2011, I had read/seen it somewhere that someone called this park an "outdoor museum." And it got on my … [Read more...]
Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center Museum
THE Kate at The Kate Old Saybrook (Google Maps location) May 18, 2011 This museum expanded and improved in 2022. Who doesn't love a little museum devoted to an impressive and/or famous person?

312. Westport Arts Center
This Place is WAC Westport (Google Maps location) March 26, 2016 In September 2019, the arts center moved to a new, much larger location and is now called MoCa Westport. As it's an entirely different place, I will create a separate page when I visit. I have this crazy idea that taking kids to art exhibits is … [Read more...]
309. Powder Hill Dinosaur Park
"If The Shoe Fits, It Must Be From Footprints" Middlefield (Google Maps location) January 16, 2016 Of course this isn’t a museum. But we’re all past that issue on this website by now, aren’t we? I know I am... and really, isn’t that all that matters? Really? Heck, this postage stamp of a park hardly … [Read more...]
New England Muscle Bicycle Museum (Closed)
This Place is Bananas! Bloomfield (Closed) May 7, 2011 Since I can only assume you've all read the hundreds of other museum visit pages that I've written, I want to let you know at the outset here that this one will be a bit different than most of the others. For one, this museum no longer exists as it did in … [Read more...]
242. Yale Center for British Art
Right, Then. Jolly Good. New Haven (Google Maps location) November 9, 2012 The Yale Center for British Art is a Connecticut Art Trail site. Spoiler Alert: When coupled with the neighboring Yale University Art Gallery, you simply can’t find a better day of art in Connecticut. Oh yeah, both are F-R-E-E, free, … [Read more...]
Harry C. Barnes Memorial Nature Center
Ain't No Party Like an Owl Party Bristol (Google Maps Location) November 22, 2015 You people have no idea. I have been waiting nearly ten years for this place to reopen. Not that I necessarily had high hopes for it or that I'm a huge Harry C. Barnes fan - it was more the principle of the thing. Back in … [Read more...]
299. The New Britain Police Museum
A Real Hard Hittin’ Museum New Britain (Google Maps location) August 8, 2015 I can’t even pretend this is a real museum. Keep in mind who just wrote that. I’m the guy that accepts pretty much anything as a museum that calls itself a museum. I’ve been to some very, very tiny museums in Connecticut. … [Read more...]
