Join a number of Auburn’s historical sites for a virtual camp experience! The Cayuga Museum, Harriet Tubman National Historical Park, Seward House Museum, and Seymour Library are teaming up to bring history to life for children approximately ages 8-10. Campers will be provided kits with a week’s worth of activities and supplies, all of which will be used through the online guidance of site staff.

*Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the Museum is closed to the public and all tours and events have been cancelled or moved to a virtual platform. The virtual garden tour will be posted on the SHM Facebook on 5/28 at noon. We apologize for the inconvenience.*  

Due to a large pre-scheduled group, the SHM will not have a tour run during this time. The first public tour of the day will begin at 11:00 am. We apologize for the inconvenience. 

Join us for a Harvest Moon First Friday Event! We will be featuring art by Anne Lahr in our gift shop, and the talents of Steven Cali's modern/outlaw country music in our gardens. We encourage you to bring your own lawn chairs, and refreshments will be provided. Also on display will be a new bust of William Seward sculpted by Dexter Benedict.
