Welcome to Heublein Tower

The Tower is now Open!!

The Heublein Tower is now open for the summer season.  Come on in Thursdays through Sundays and enjoy the view from the observation room.

See the Photo Gallery for photos of our Spring Fling on Memorial Day weekend.

 

The Heublein Tower is historically significant as the country retreat of Gilbert F. Heublein (1850-1937) co-founder of G.F Heublein and Brothers, which later became Heublein Inc., an international food and beverage importing firm. The Tower stands atop the highest point (875 feet) of Talcott Mountain, in Simsbury Connecticut and commands a 360 degree view of the central portion of the state. It is now owned by the state of Connecticut and is part of Talcott Mountain State Park, which covers more than 500 acres in Avon, Bloomfield and Simsbury.

Visitors who walk up the 120 steps to the observation room at the top of the Tower are rewarded with an unparalleled view of the Farmington Valley, West Hartford and the Hartford skyline.
