In New London, CT there was a family mausoleum which has Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass windows, speaking of fine art. They were stolen, when we lived near there, so we followed the case closely in the papers. A detective from NYC, if I remember right, became an expert on fine art thievery and, again the memory has lapses, was instrumental in the recovery of said windows a few years later.

I saw many examples of artwork, which would qualify as museum pieces, while living in CT and MA.

There is a really gothic tomb in the Stonington Borough cemetery, right off of Route One, in Connecticut (CT). Lots of peaked gables and such. The kids and i used to call it Dracula's Castle.

In that same cemetery there is the most romantic and sad inscription I've ever seen. I always thought I would write a story based on it:

Here lie the ashes of the heart of
ANTHONY HAVELOCK ALLAN
Baronet
1904 -
Close By The Place Where Lie With Those
Of Her Forebears The Mortal Remains
Of His Most Dear Love for 23 Years
(at the very bottom)She Was Like A Field Of Flowers In Sunlight
