    Default Its a cool Pile of Rocks

    Theres a neat touristy place in CT we've taken the kids for years.. Its a park with nice grounds and a wealth of history. Located on The Connectcut River, is a a castle. A castle built just about 100 Years ago by a then famous Actor, William Gillette. Gillette was famous for his role as Sherlock Holmes back then. He played on stage and in Silent Movies. He acted the role of Sherlock something like 1300 times. His castle was a masterpiece and the inside is far more impressive but I have to dig up those pics. Its usually only open inside at Holidays like Christmas when its decorated. My daughter needed to get some material for a project shes working on so we took a road trip.

    The sun was high and contrasty, harsh light but I think you will see its a pretty cool little castle..
