The Castle's 1918 Museum showcases items from that time era, plus World War I memorabilia.

Something for everyone
I traveled from Chicago to Mackinac island, and this was my favorite attraction There's so much to see in here. You have the castle with a lot of history, a beautiful garden, hedge maze which is also one of the biggest miniature train track, an enchanted forest, 1918 memorabilia museum and more. Everyone will find something they like, and you can easily spend several hours in here

Good visit! Unique thing to do close to Petosky.
Visited in early November as something to do under 1 hour drive from Harbor Springs / Petoskey area. It’s a decent way to burn 2 hours doing the $7 self-guided tour and a $7 wine tasting and light lunch. We had greek Chicken & Artichoke soup for $6/bowl and it was delicious. It was interesting to learn about the history, music festivals and restoration. There are many quirky and unique collections to view like Sears catalog items from 1819, royal and castle memorabilia and my favorite… wedding toppers! Notes: November is transition to a more indoor focused tour so trains aren’t running and holiday decor is in process. Wine - Pinot Grigio & Birch Lake are good! Skip the Pinot Noir… it takes like an old dusty attic.
