But What about Watson?

Final weekend!

Sat. and Sun. June 11 and 12

Free shows at 1 and 2:30

We saw the performance recently and watched Josiah Heath give a rollicking performance as Dr. Watson in this 30 min live performance.

Fans of Sherlock Holmes will certainly notice how deftly the famous accounts of Holmes' stories are interwoven into the script.

Congrats and thanks to the East Haddam Stage Company for keeping theater alive at the Castle.

Fresh air, exercise, and brain food! Join a guided hike of the narrow gauge train trail and learn about the fun features along the way.



The hike is a about an hour and fifteen minutes, and is generally gentle and flat trail with a couple of brief scrambles.

Sturdy shoes are recommended.
