The return of an Auburn summer classic! Elementary-school-aged children are invited to join Camp Seward, a day camp that transports them back into the Victorian era. Popular features of this immersive tradition include playing Townball (a baseball-like game) with the Auburn Doubledays, being served a full Victorian high tea and luncheon by costumed "members" of the Seward family, and going behind the scenes to explore untold stories from the Seward House Museum.

Appropriate for ages 7-12. Scholarships are available - contact the Seward House for more information.

 

Bring your lunch and learn some history in the Seward House Museum gardens for this unique summer series! Auburn native Doug Graney returns to "History's Hometown" to reflect on a decorated 33-year teaching career that began at Auburn High School. Since then, Graney established the largest internship program on Capitol Hill and brought generations of students in contact with Senators, Supreme Court Justices, and leaders from both major political parties.

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

The politics of the anti-slavery movement shaped not only the public career of Mr. Seward, but also loomed over his entire family dynamic. Find out how various members of the Seward family opposed slavery during this extended specialty tour.

 

Admission: Members $10, General Public $15
