No Need to Get Cross With Me Storrs/Mansfield (Google Maps Location) July 17, 2009 Please note that this was written in 2009 and that I am pretty sure this gallery no longer exists as it did back then. I spent four (and, ahem, a half, ahem) years and several tens of thousands of my father’s hard-earned money at … [Read more...]
138. Hartford Medical Society Historical Library
Make No Bones About It... It's Back! Farmington (Google Maps Location) September 10, 2009 The waffling is over. I'm giving this place its own pedestal to stand on as a separate museum visit. Sure, the collection is pretty much a scaled down version of a previously visited museum, but I think it's important to … [Read more...]
128. Brookfield Nature Center and Rock Museum
Hellooooo Broooookfield! Brookfield (Google Maps Location) July 20, 2009 I'd recently been doing some hikes out in western Connecticut in the New Milford-Brookfield-Bridgewater area. I'd stumbled upon a few heretofore unknown museums on my forays back home in Roxbury and Woodbury - pretty much the most exciting … [Read more...]
125. UConn Animal Barns
Lots of Damian Pictures... I'm Gonna Milk This One Storrs (Google Maps Location) July 2009 and Others UConn has a split personality. On the one hand, it's a modern University with a top tier basketball program known the world over. On the other hand, it's an agricultural school at heart; located in a very … [Read more...]
127. UConn Public Art Collection
Art: It's Everywhere! 30 pieces at UConn at Storrs, Stamford, Torrington, Farmington, Hartford, Avery Point Various Dates How can a museum span six towns across the state? When I say it can. UConn has a terribly unpublicized collection of top notch public art at several of its campuses, as well as the law … [Read more...]
123. Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame
These Girls Done Good... For Girls Traveling Exhibit April 8, 2009 If you're paying close attention, you'll notice this visit is a bit out of order. That's because when I stumbled upon it at a writer's conference at Tunxis Community College (where I took in museum number 97), I didn't really think it warranted … [Read more...]
92. Homer Babbidge Library & Dodd Center
"She's dead. Wrapped in plastic." UConn Storrs (Google Maps Location) February 25, 2009 A few of the Babbidge Library pictures are from Jerry Dougherty's incredible compendium of photos of EVERYTHING in Connecticut. Stop hurting your brain; my title makes no sense whatsoever. Well, it does to me but not to … [Read more...]
UConn Greenhouses
Biology: The Study of Life... And What is More Important Than LIFE?! UConn Storrs (Google Maps Location) February 25, 2009 Ahhhh, home. Like the plants on view, I was rooted in this very building for four years. The smells... The sights... It was nice to be back "home." Yes folks, I hold a biology degree from … [Read more...]
85. Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library
You Can't Judge a Book - Or Building - By Its Cover Middletown (Google Maps Location) January 29, 2009 This is going to be annoying having to type Beinecke over and over throughout this post. Why can't cool guys have cool last names like Wood? Whatever this place lacks in the naming department, it more than … [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.
