Join museum staff and volunteers in planting and tending to flower beds, garden spaces, and the majestic grounds!

Join us for a First Friday Community Event! The Seward House Museum is pleased to welcome Taryn Surprenant to perform in the historic gardens.  Taryn is a singer-songwriter from the mountains of Upstate NY who creates a style of folk that incorporates alternative and blues-infused undertones beneath a carefully crafted narrative. Paired with strong vocals that flow in waves over minimalistic guitar progressions, her lyrics speak to the beauty found within the caverns and chasms of human experience and emotion.

Pitch in with museum staff and volunteers in preparing the grounds for autumn! Join museum staff and volunteers in planting and tending to flower beds, garden spaces, and the majestic grounds of the Seward House Museum!  Led by Facilities Manager Mitch Maniccia, volunteers step into the historical grounds and help maintain the lush gardens which the Sewards held so dear.
