Saturday June 14th at 10 a.m., outside the Visitor Center! We are so excited to share that the restored steam train will return to Gillette Castle! Join us on June 14! The restoration of William Gillette's steam engine kicked off on May 23, 2024, when the Eastern District Construction crew from the Department of Energy and Environmental Conservation (DEEP) moved the engine out of storage. On June 14, after 891 hours of labor, the restored engine, coal tender and one passenger car will be installed on the front porch of the Visitor Center. Many thanks to our volunteers! This work has been a labor of love for our 9-man "train crew": Hugh MacLean, Brady Thomas, John Dugas, Warren Elliott, Rob Szczepanski, Bernie Gillis, Bob Guyon, Graham MacDonald and Phil Schuster. Fueled with pastries and coffee, the team worked half-days nearly every Wednesday for a year to achieve the goal. Refreshments, celebrations, a slide show and a new short video about Gillette’s steam train! We hope to see you there! Check out the photo essay for a sneak peek at the engine.

Shows Oct 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27 (details below) Enjoy live theater in the home of one of America's theatrical giants, William Gillette. Attendees to all performances will be treated to a reception with light refreshments on the terrace of the Castle, where they can chat with the actors and producer after the show. October 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27 Friday and Saturday night performances at 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. This New England premiere production, “William and James – A Ghost Story,” will be staged inside the main living area of Gillette Castle.

The gentlemen banter about their acting styles, their commitment to the stage, and their personal lives… yet as they toast their success, they are haunted…by people, what ifs, regrets, loss and love. The souvenir shop within the Visitor Center will also be open, to allow guests to purchase a remembrance of their visit.
