The Heublein Tower in Simsbury Offers Stunning Views | Connecting Point | July 25, 2018

A visit to the Heublein Tower in Simsbury, CT may not be for everyone -- in fact it may be one of the toughest museums in the State of Connecticut to get to. Reaching the tower requires a mile and a half long hike up Talcott Mountain. Then, visitors still need to climb 120 to reach the tower's observation deck. But the reward is a breathtaking, a 360-degree view of the Farmington River Valley. That view is most definitely worth the trip, according to Connecting Point Producer Dave Fraser, who made a visit there recently and shares the story.

I used to live in that area & sometimes hiked there & up into the tower. But that was 40 years ago. Don't know if I could do that now.
