From the reviews

This place is an awesome monument to the author James Oliver Curwood. The staff are lovely and very friendly. They have a vast knowledge of the history of Mr. Curwood and his life and involvement in the town. The castle and surrounding park is beautifully maintained.

★★★★★ — Shane, Jun 2023

Great place to learn about the wildlife author Oliver Curwood. A very interesting building. You wouldn’t expect to see a “castle” in a small Midwest town. The local organization has done a great job keeping it up and informative. Worth the $5.

★★★★★ — Tom, May 2019

This was such a great place to visit and tour. The history is surprising. If you have not visited and live in Michigan, you should. I lived there most of my life and never knew about the Curdwood Castle. Go!

★★★★★ — Trudy, Dec 2021

A small cute building, not sure exactly should be called castle. Perfect location off the river bank, the writer Curwood used as study/writing room. A good roadside stop if you are in the area.
