Heublein Tower

Local nameHeublein Tower
LocationSimsbury, Connecticut, United States

The 165-foot-tall Heublein Tower is located in Talcott Mountain State Park in Simsbury, Connecticut, United States and provides panoramic views of the Hartford skyline, the Farmington River Valley, and surrounding areas that are particularly spectacular in the fall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

The correct pronunciation of the tower is debated. The Heublein family came from Germany, whence the pronunciation HOY-blyne, but after immigrating to the United States, over the years it was pronounced HY-blyne. After Heublein Inc. was bought by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in 1982, advertising was run on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, who pronounced it HEW-blyne.
