This month: We celebrate William Gillette's 170th birthday, and review awesome pictures from the recent photography event. Plus, we share recent news features about Gillette Castle, and announce an October meeting for holiday program volunteers.

On a glorious afternoon at the beginning of August, a group of about 20 fans gathered to celebrate William Gillette's 170th birthday. Helen's birthday was about two weeks after William's, so we celebrated her birthday as well. Helen didn't tell us how old she was, but she didn't look a day over 25!

We had a toast with a little bit of bubbly, some snacks, and a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday to you!" Check out the photo essay at the button below!

If you are a media fanatic, use these links to watch two shorter segments about the Castle from NBC Connecticut and WFSB (channel 3). Enjoy!

A fabulous day with the Steamposh crew!

We had awesome adventures at the Victorian who-done-it! There were loads of people prowling the grounds and basking in the creative spirit of William Gillette!
