So This is Where Basket Weaving 101 Was Taught UConn Storrs (Google Maps Location) February 25, 2009 I appreciate two things about this museum. One, its name is clear, concise and to-the-point. Two, it's very, very small. Continuing my full afternoon at UConn's various museums and museum-like places, I … [Read more...]
77. Beckley Furnace
It's Like a Furnace in Here! North Canaan (Google maps location) October 5, 2008 An absolutely brilliant and beautiful Fall day in Connecticut. Grandmom and Granddad up from Delaware watching Damian back in West Hartford. Hoang and I take a leisurely drive west on Route 44 through some of the prettiest October … [Read more...]
76. Ezra & Cecile Zilkha Gallery
Great Art! Middletown (Google Maps Location) October 3, 2008 Fresh off my recently settled upon definition of museums, I'm now tasked with writing up this place. As it is a permanent gallery that only displays rather than sells, it is therefore a museum. (And really, you'd be hard pressed to argue.) It's … [Read more...]
75. Davison Art Center
The Bizarre and Beautiful Chewbacca Middletown (Google Maps Location) October 3, 2008 Here I am, staring at my chapped fingers asking them to write a coherent post about an art museum. My diamond anniversary museum, if you will, and only my second art museum. At least at the first one, The Housatonic Museum of … [Read more...]
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. There comes a time in every person's life where surprising things become a little bit less surprising. Take, for instance, after going to 73 museums in … [Read more...]
64. Westmoor Park
Crying Fowl West Hartford(Google Maps Location) Multiple Visits 2019 Update: This page is a bit... old. The pictures are bad and poorly formatted, but you'll get the gist. We've been here a million times. In fact, I was just there a few weeks ago in April 2019 chaperoning a field trip for my second grader, … [Read more...]
Somers Historical Society Museum
Somerstime, and the Livin' is Easy Somers (Google Maps Location) June 2008 CT Museum visit #62. My visit up to Somers was perhaps one of my most random forays ever done for this website. One fine Saturday I remember just putting Damian down to nap and telling Hoang I had to just "go." When you have a special … [Read more...]
72. New Britain Youth Museum
Youth of Today New Britain (Google Maps Location) September 27, 2008 Growing up, I was mostly influenced by my older brother. In the early to mid-eighties, he (and therefore, I) started getting into punk and hardcore music. I was never a social outcast or anything, I was simply drawn to the hard, fast, … [Read more...]
Thomas Lee House Museum
Nice, But Where's the Stripper Pole? East Lyme (Google Maps Location) June 2008 No stripper pole? No weird swing above the bed? No music studio? It stands to reason that ol' Thomas Lee was called Tommy by his mates. So you can't blame me for thinking I was going to a museum built in honor of Mr. Pam … [Read more...]
73. New Britain Local History Room
Fafnir for the Common New Britain Man New Britain (Google Maps Location) October 1, 2008 Update: I likely wouldn't include this place in my list of museums now, but I did in 2008, so here we are. Being married to a woman who grew up in New Britain from the tender age of two until I married her 29 years … [Read more...]
