The Connecticut River view of Gillette Castle State Park East Haddam CT seen from below Connecticut tourism copy space
The Connecticut River with view of Gillette Castle State Park, East Haddam, CT seen from below. Gillette Castle, now a tourist attraction owned by the state since the 1940's, was built by William Hooker Gillette, a nineteenth century stage actor famous for playing Sherlock Holmes and originating the character's pipe and deerstalker hat. Gillette built the 24-room mansion, designed to resemble a medieval castle, after he retired in the early 1900's. Constructed with local fieldstone over a metal frame, it sits perched on a hill in a chain known as the Seven Sisters overlooking the Connecticut River and may be approached by car and/or ferry.
