Title: Some artifacts from the Castle Musuem in Saginaw, MI(pic heavy)
Post by: JacksonCash on January 20, 2015, 05:50:36 pm

Hey guys here's some pictures from a museum my wife and I went to. I wished I would have gotten more, and better quality, but I got excited when I saw the banner stones and snapped a few pictures without really thinking about what I wanted to get. If you are close by, I think the museum is worth a stop. Mostly stuff about the Auto & Lumber industries, but a nice section of this stuff(I barely have scratched the surface here) as well as a sports museum, and a big train display. Admission is super, super cheap.

If you have trouble reading any of that let me know and I can type it up.

It's definitely worth it if you are in the area. It is in a big old post office building.

Thanks for the post.  next time I get over that way I will be sure to check the museum out.  Wonder where the non-Michigan knapping materials came from.  My guess would be Indiana and Ohio.

There was a map showing where some of the different material came from, lots of Indiana and Ohio, but also some Onondoga stuff from out near Buffalo.
