The Castle Museum of Saginaw County History was a post office and is now a history museum. Designed to look like a French chateau.
While we may be closed today, 12/25, we still wanted to wish all of our #Saginawesome family happy holiday greetings from the Castle Museum. Enjoy the day with those closest to you, and we will see you tomorrow for regular hours! 🎄

The #GreatElfHunt is on for one last week! The elves have moved again...and this is your last chance to find them and earn a nifty prize before they head back to the North Pole for another year. Catch them before Christmas Eve! 🧝♂️

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. 💙

A merry time was had by the whole Castle Crew with our friends at Miles Market in Shields, learning to make and decorate donuts for our Castle staff party. We even had time for a few reindeer games after lunch. Now that we're all sugared up, we're ready to see you tomorrow for our regular hours! 🍩
