Lisa loves animals and has dogs, rats, cats, guinea pigs, and snakes. She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

Whether you’re 9 or 90, certain cultural figures like cartoon characters and comic book figures always retain their appeal. Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Superman: these are timeless names that are beloved not just by kids, but kids at heart, too. One of the most nostalgic and fun museums in Connecticut is the Barker Character, Comic, and Cartoon Museum in Cheshire. This delightful little spot has decades upon decades of toys, ads, figurines, and so much more. A walk through here is like exploring a time capsule of childhood, whether you grew up in the 1950s or the 1990s. It’s a place that truly sparks joy, no matter your age.
This is one of our favorite hidden gems in Connecticut. For more information about the Barker Character, Comic, and Cartoon Museum, check out the museum’s Facebook page or website.
