Gillette Castle was designed by William Gillette. He was an American actor who famously portrayed Sherlock Holmes on stage. There is a system of hidden mirrors for surveillance of the public rooms from the master bedroom that was built by Gillette.

The castle itself is definitely worth a visit, but after the tour, make sure to hike on the grounds of the Gillette Castle State Park, located on the chain of hills called the Seven Sisters, and overlooking the Connecticut River. The Park features lots of picturesque trails.
