Connecticut has some strange things going on and no we aren’t talking about the tax situation. From some bizarre statues to buildings that look like they were dumped on us from Mars, there are some odd sights in the Nutmeg State and not all of them can be explained. Here are a few of Connecticut’s weird places.
Please note, Ingalls Ice Arena is temporarily closed.
- Strange Statuary, Middletown

- The Spaceship, Guilford
Historic Buildings Of Connecticut In 1985, Whitfield Shore Condominiums was built in Guilford and has since been nicknamed “the spaceship.” The architect was told to create “something wild” and he did!
- KAWS Companion, Ridgefield

- Brain Collection, New Haven
Flickr/techbint The Cushing Center at Yale houses a pretty strange collection of brains in jars. And there are quite a few of them on display!
- Philip Johnson Glass House, New Canaan
Flickr/n e o g e j o Another architect with a vision built this glass house in 1949. The strange thing is that he actually lived in his weekend retreat for 58 years until he passed away.
- Little People Village, Middlebury

- Whale Tail, New London

- Ingalls Ice Arena, New Haven

- Giant Paul Bunyan, Cheshire
