Gillette Castle State Park

You should definitely go inside the house — the owner was very clever and smart. You will find the excursion amazing!

Amazing castle . You can take a tour and see most of the rooms. Beautiful views of the Connecticut River too.

Nope, you haven't traveled back to medieval times. This stone castle perched above the Connecticut River was the home of William Gillette, the actor who first played Sherlock Holmes. Read more

Hiking , Views , Unique American History, architecture and early inventions.

This place is amazing. Touring the house is well worth the $6.00 for adults! Inexpensive admission price for how cool the place is!!

Very interesting place. Love the amount of work and ingenuity that he had all through out the castle .

Take a walk around the castle and see the river . Nice place to stop and rest

Fabulous! What a lovely surprise. They should integrate the new documentary that's out about his "talkie."

If you go with little kids, the castle is not stroller friendly . Gravel paths around the castle are manageable with a bigger, jogging stroller. Difficult with anything smaller.

One of the best dead rich white person's house turned museum in Connecticut!

Amazing view from the castle . Check out the unique wooden doors, all 40 of them.

October is tourist season- expect crowds. Wait a couple weeks and it'll be quieter with less people.

Really cool. Lots of wood and tricky designs

Nice views ! And you've gotta take the train or boat trip!

Been here and done that. It's nice to have a picnic in the spring.

It's a pretty small castle so don't get your hopes up.

T-Mobile network very weak. Watch out if you're using your GPS on a smart phone

So many frogs!!

Currently closed for renovation until November 30th according to the sign at the castle .

This place is unforgettable!!! 😍

Secret door from his study to avoid guest in the living room
