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.

New England Muscle Bicycle Museum (Closed)
This Place is Bananas!

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.

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.
