Traveling with the Schroeders -- Curwood Castle, Owosso, Michigan

A castle in Michigan?  Yes, indeed, there is!

The Schroeders were on the road a week ago in Owosso, Michigan.  Owosso boasts that it has a castle which was built by resident and author James Curwood (1876-1927).  The Curwood Castle was built along the bank of the Shiawassee River for the sole purpose of being a writing studio.  While not large, it is unique.  The rooms are small, but the living room is very nice.  I suspect that Curwood came here to escape as much as to write.  He ended up writing dozens of books, most (if not all) western themed.

Here are some photos.
