Talcott Mountain State Park

Talcott Mountain State ParkAmong the natural beauty and splendor of the Farmington Valley, lies a fantastic regional attraction named Talcott Mountain State ParkTalcott Mountain State Park is a combination of a trail that leads to a mountain top, and picnicking areas.  It has been a favorite of local residents ever since it came under public ownership, and is a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon with the family.  Unbeknownst to many however, is that Talcott Mountain State Park not only offers beautiful views, but a rich history as well.

The structure at the top of Talcott Mountain State Park, was built in 1914 by Gilbert Heublin as a summer residence for his family.  The aptly named "Heublin Tower", has been host to 2 presidents of our past; Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan.  It was eventually purchased by a private corporation, who had residential designs on the land, but its efforts were thwarted by conservationists and state governments who wanted to see it kept as a public park for residents of Farmington Valley.

Today, all 557 acres of the park are available to the public to hike, bird watch, or just have a picnic with the family. At the top of the mountain, the view is nothing less than astonishing.  You can see the Berkshire Mountains from the top ledge, as well as the long island sound.  Talcott Mountain State Park is truly a spectacular piece of natural habitat, and one of the many attractions that make Farmington Valley such a great place to live.
