Visual character

Forested ridgeline in the Farmington River Valley topped by the historic Heublein Tower — a 165-foot Victorian turreted tower with 360-degree views over Connecticut's river valleys and distant Berkshires. Perfect for period, mystery, and contemporary narratives.

About

TALCOTT MOUNTAIN STATE PARK'S SIGNATURE FEATURE IS THE HEUBLEIN TOWER — A STRIKING VICTORIAN STRUCTURE PERCHED AT THE RIDGE'S HIGHEST POINT WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS OVER THE FARMINGTON RIVER VALLEY. THE 4-MILE FOREST TRAIL LEADING UP THE RIDGE TRANSITIONS THROUGH DENSE MIXED HARDWOOD TO DRAMATIC RIDGELINE EXPOSURE. THE TOWER ITSELF HAS APPEARED IN CONNECTICUT REGIONAL PRODUCTIONS AND PROVIDES A READY-MADE PERIOD OR MYSTERY LOCATION. CONNECTICUT REQUIRES A STATE FILM PERMIT FOR ALL PARK SHOOTING, OBT
