Nana came for a visit from WA State so we thought it would be fun to go explore Gillette Castle. William Gillette is most famous for his portrayal of "Sherlock Holmes".
The boys really had fun finding secret doors; all the doors (47)were different and had intricate locks. Unfortunately we couldn't have flash photography so we didn't get great pictures of the inside.
CT bought the castle in 1943 and turned it into a state park for everyone to enjoy. It is amazing, the whole castle is made out of southern white oak and field stone and the park grounds are absolutely beautiful.
I don't know if you know this but people say that CT is were you go to grow rocks and there is plenty of proof of that if you were to ever come for a visit.
