We present BVI photometry for Trumpler 5, a rich
open cluster located in the Galactic anticenter.
The cluster age is slightly lower than the age of M 67.
Its distance modulus 
and reddening 
are estimated
at 12.4 and 0.58, respectively. These values were obtained for the assumed
solar metallicity of the cluster. Our data indicate that Tr 5 is
one of the richest objects among the sample of known old
open clusters. The total mass included only in upper-main sequence stars
exceeds 3000 
. The angular diameter of the cluster is estimated
at 11.6 arcmin, which corresponds to a linear size of about 20 pc for
an estimated distance 
kpc.
