Merritt Parkway Museum
A Museum Not Without Merritt
Stratford
June 2, 2008
I figured it makes sense to link to the museum in Connecticut about a road here. Not just any road, but the wondrous Merritt Parkway! Granted, it’s a tiny little museum in the lobby of a random office building in Stratford, but hey, they call it a museum so it’s a museum. Check it out here.

This is a museum off the beaten path, that should not be missed. Located just off of exit 53 in Stratford next to the Sikorsky Bridge. It’s located in the plaza off a office building. Believe it or not my girlfriend and I visited it on a Saturday and it was open. Once inside we were treated to old pictures and paintings of the parkway itself. There was even a running video on a giant screen television that discribed the history of the parkway. There was also a giant map that detailed the entire 37 miles of the road. These details included information about the bridges, landscape and exits. It was quite a treat and a must see for road geeks. Check it out!!!!
