It is said that the old Seward kitchen was one of the most popular stations of the Underground Railroad, and that many a poor slave who fled by this route to Canada carried to his grave the remembrance of its warmth and cheer.
Lunchtime Lecture: "A Man on Fire"
Apr 24th 2025 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
Apr 24th 2025 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
The Lunchtime Lecture Series continues with LeMoyne College Professor of History Doug Egerton. Before he was rivals with Abraham Lincoln, in the 1850s Senator William Seward found himself challenged by an abolitionist upstart from New England named Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Egerton will bring the stories of their friction to life in this discussion of his new biography of Higginson, "A Man on Fire."
This event will take place at the Equal Rights Heritage Center and is FREE and open to the public.
