Castle Museum

The Castle Museum of Saginaw County History was a post office and is now a history museum. Designed to look like a French chateau.
You've got just a few more days to catch our mischievous elves in the #GreatElfHunt Stop by the museum during open hours and the front desk will give you all the info. Find all the elves and win a prize--oh, and they move every Monday until Christmas, so catch them soon!

Well now, if you’re in need of a good gift—or just something sensible and quietly handsome for yourself—you might wander into the Castle Museum #SwagShop. It’s the sort of place where anybody who is anybody shops.
The Castle Museum #SwagShop-where good taste resides, and word gets around—eventually

Last night marked the beginning of Hanukkah for our friends in the Jewish community, though we realize, given recent events, it may be a time of some trepidation. Please know that we love and support you this holiday season and always. 💙
