Katana the Adventure Kitty and I tour the historic Wilson Castle!

Me and my furry daughter tour the amazing Wilson Castle on Sunday Aug 23, 2026. It is Vermont’s only real castle. And it is said to be very haunted! Located in Proctor, VT, the castle was built in 1885 and encompasses over 13,000 square feet. The Wilson family has owned it since 1939. It has become in recent years a hotbed of paranormal activity. If you haven’t yet visited, Wilson Castle is a massive Victorian estate perched on a hill in the southern part of Proctor, almost to the Rutland line. The main house was built by the Johnson family in 1885 and encompasses 32 rooms over 13,000 square feet, 84 stunning stained- and etched-glass windows, richly painted ceilings, masterfully carved woodwork, and 13 fireplaces with exquisite tile surrounds. It originally sat on 150 acres (now 95), took over seven years to construct and cost $1.3 million (roughly $32m today). The castle is worth a visit just for the sheer opulence of it all!
