Gillette Castle!!

Today we went to Gillette Castle! It was designed by and was the private residence of actor William Gillette. It overlooks the Connecticut River and even had a train that he used to ride around his property on!



The entire outside and many of the inside walls and floors are all made out of stone!



William Gillette is most famous for being the first actor to portray Sherlock Holmes on stage and make him into the character we know him as today. We had fun meeting with these people reenacting Mr and Mrs Gillette!

This is the living room, I've never seen any house like it!



The castle and grounds have a GORGEOUS view of the Connecticut River!



Fun times!! :)
