Old Castle Museum Preserves Baker History On 125th Anniversary
Baker University’s Old Castle Museum, known as a former president residency and storehouse, marks 125 years with new artifact cases and ongoing restorations funded by donors including W C Markum. Curator Miles H Stotts notes recent theft losses but highlights extensive Civil War relics, Indian artifacts, and items like an 1865 New York Herald. Visitors are welcome 2 to 5 p.m. daily except Mondays, Feb 15 to Dec 15, with Maple Leaf Festival expected to draw about 4,000.
