We present a study of the old open cluster Trumpler 5 (Tr 5), based on the CDS archival data. From the color-magnitude diagrams of Tr 5, we have found the positions of main-sequence turn-off (MSTO) and red giant clump (RGC) stars. Using the mean magnitude of the RGC stars, we have estimated the reddening toward Tr 5, E(B - V) = 0.60 $pm$ 0.10. Using the stars common in two data sets and the theoretical isochrones of Padova group, we have estimated the distance modulus $V_o - M_v = 12.64 {pm} 0.20 (d = 3.4 {pm} 0.3 kpc)$, the metallicity [Fe/H) = -0.30 $pm$ 0.10, and the age of 2.4 $pm$ 0.2 Gyr (log t = 9.38). These metallicity and distance values are consistent with the relation between the metallicity and the Galactocentric distance of other old open clusters, for which we obtain the slope of ${Delta}[Fe/H]/ R_{gc} = -0.064 {pm} 0.010;dex;kpc^{-1}$.
