We are currently showcasing products Made in Saginaw that played important parts in the U.S. Economy and/or the economy of Michigan.

After the lumber boom residents of Saginaw sought to diversify its industry by bringing in different types of business. During that time many products were invented and manufactured here.

Some are common and recognizable and some are not. This collection from the Historical Society of Saginaw ingenuity and enterpreneurship during this era.

Combining extensive administrative experience with a passion for history, Ken Santa was selected as the new Executive Director of the Castle Museum of Saginaw County History.

Santa, a resident of Clio, comes to the Museum from St. Mary’s of Michigan where he served as the Manager of Media Relations and Communications. Prior to joining the team at St. Mary’s in 2003, Santa worked for the Field Neurosciences Institute gaining additional public relations experience as well as serving as Operations Manager.

The Museum also welcomes a familiar face to its management team with the addition of Thomas Trombley as Deputy Director. Trombley, a Saginaw resident, has been involved with the Museum for many years, including serving as Curator of Collections from 1981-1988.

Trombley comes to the Museum from Neighborhood Renewal Services, Inc. where he helped to promote Saginaw’s historic resources.  These projects include guided historical tours, an online walking tour and developing promotional posters.

About this time of year, Jeffrey Sommer, Curator of Archaeology issues a report on what he did all summer.
