Join the Friends of Gillette Castle State Park at 10:00 a.m. on April 27 in celebration of the seasonal opening of the Chester-Hadlyme ferry and the 75th "birthday" of the Selden III.  Come wave your flag and welcome the Seldon III as it makes its way from Chester.

After a ribbon cutting ceremony and welcoming remarks by local dignitaries, we will take a 15 minute passenger-only ride to celebrate the start of the ferry season.  Refreshments provided by the Hadlyme Country Market.  The event is free to all visitors.

Note: This event was originally scheduled earlier, but is now planned for April 27th.

Rain date Sunday April 28, 10 a.m.
