 Piatt Castles’ oral history project, Memories of Mac-O-Chee, allows former employees, volunteers and visitors to have their memories of the castle video-recorded. This is possible through the efforts of the Mac-A-Cheek Foundation for the Humanities, a non-profit organization that focuses on research and programming at Piatt Castles. Mac-O-Chee Castle is scheduled to close at the end of October.
To make an appointment for a recording at Mac-O-Chee, visit www.piattcastles.org or call 937-844-3902.
