I Got Me a Nice Wiener (J/K) 126 South St, Danbury After nearly 100 years, JK's Closed in October 2022. The Roadfood hot dog slog continues… So. Many. Hot dogs. Going to 700 museums and hiking 100's and 100's of miles of trails in Connecticut seems easy in comparison. But I signed up for this and I will see it … [Read more...]
Holley-Williams House Museum (Closed)
Holley Crap, It’s Closed Salisbury The worst part about this closure is that it may have taken out not just the one historic house museum, but also the random Salisbury Cannon Museum which I believe was housed at the same spot. I hold out hope that the Cannon Museum will reappear elsewhere in town, as Salisbury’s … [Read more...]
The Golden Age of Trucking Museum (Closed)
The Golden Age… Those Were the Days… Middlebury July 10, 2010 CT Museum Visit #173, just before it closed in July of 2010. This is a terrible writing assignment. What should be a fun museum report is now a eulogy. Worse, I knew I’d be faced with this situation even before I visited the Golden Age of … [Read more...]
169. Young at Heart Doll Shop and Museum (RIP)
Dollpocalypse Now Preston (Google Maps location) May 22, 2010 The lovely proprietor was going to close in 2014... but didn't. But at some point in 2018 or 2019, they did close permanently.

Through Zephyrs and Rain and Damian, We Continue the Wine Trail NorthWinds Vineyard, Watertown July 10, 2010 This winery closed in 2013.

121. The CRRA Garbage Museum (RIP)
One Word: Trashosaurus Stratford June 26, 2009 This place closed for good in late 2011. As I sit to write this I am pausing to wonder if other states have Garbage Museums. I’m sure a few do. But then I must ask a follow-up question – Do other states with Garbage Museums also have Trash Museums? Didn’t … [Read more...]

126. Wilbur Cross Gallery (Gone)
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...]
