A Thousand Letters Home Available at the Castle Museum Store
Shortly after her father’s death, Teresa Irish opened the army trunk that had resided in her family home all her life. It was there she found the nearly 1,000 fragile and yellowed letters written by her father, Aarol W. “Bud” Irish, during his 38 months in World War II. The letters were addressed to Bud’s parents and to his sweetheart, Elaine Marie Corbat, who would later become his wife.
These poignant letters are the focus of a new book written by Teresa called A Thousand Letters Home.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
The Museum has created a small but stirring display highlighting Bud Irish, his letters home and other memorabilia from his experiences during World War II.
Also available for viewing is a look at local reaction to the attack on Pearl Harbor as well as a short slideshow from the National World War II Museum depicting images from that tragic event.

Happy Meal Memories:
A Celebration of Toys
Exhibit Held Over - On Display Through March 12, 2012
For more than 30 years, McDonald’s has been delighting children of all ages with its Happy Meal toys. This charming display includes a varied collection of toys and Happy Meal boxes, spanning three decades. In addition, visitors will learn about how the Happy Meal came into existence and find out about one of Michigan’s oldest McDonald’s located in Saginaw Township. Posters of ads that ran in The Saginaw News when the restaurant opened in 1958 are on display. The exhibit also features several pieces of McDonald’s memorabilia that were loaned to the Museum from area franchise owners.
