The Historical Society of Michigan presented two awards to Saginaw County, one to an author and the other to the Castle Museum.

In the category of Publications: Private Printing, an award went to "Indiantown," written by Roselynn Ederer. A compilation of oral histories along with additional information from newspapers, deeds, and journals, the book provides a history of two cultures - the Native Americans who lived there first and the German immigrants who followed them.

While journeying into Indiantown's past and present society, readers will learn how its residents were an important part of Saginaw's interesting history and better understand the significant role they played in developing Michigan's agricultural industry.

In the category of Educational Programs, the Society recognized the Castle Museum of Saginaw County's History on the Move program.

Noting that Michigan and Saginaw have been affected by the current economic climate, and that schools simply do not have the funds to go on field trips, the Historical Society of Saginaw County developed a unique solution to address this reality. Using a modified tractor-trailer, the History of the Move program brings local culture and artifacts to schools throughout Saginaw County. This program is free and available to all 14,000 public, charter, and private elementary school students (grades K-5), and is tailored to Michigan standards and benchmarks.
