The tower was built by Gilbert Heublien, the previous owner of the land, to make good on a promise to his wife that he would build her a castle. In 1966, the State of Connecticut’s Department of Energy & Environmental Protection brought the land and the tower and opened it to the public in 1983.

Now, the visitors can enter the tower and go to the top for a great view of Talcott Mountain State Park and the surrounding area.
