"The Seward Family Museum protects the legacy of a truly inspiring American, his extraordinary wife, and their children and grandchildren. Every room in the home, from the "old kitchen" stop on the Underground Railroad to the Alaska room and the extensive diplomatic gallery is a testament to a histor..."ic achievement. Still, surrounded by so many of their possessions, it feels like William Seward and his family would be right at home here today. Andrew was a fabulous tour guide and every member of the staff was outgoing, knowledgeable, and clearly dedicated to the museum's work. Our "behind the scenes" tour arranged through the Aurora Inn was a real privilege. Geralyn's plans for the future display of heirlooms in the attic are so exciting - we still can't believe we were able to venture into the attic! We have visited the homes of many other famous Americans, but have never enjoyed a visit as much as this one...we will be back!

"My wife and I went to the Seward House on the recommendation of my brother-in-law prior to a family wedding in Auburn. We're both very glad we did!
This house is a historical gem - even if you are not a Civil War buff (and I am not) - this house will impress as an astonishingly well-preserved piec..."e of US history. Unlike most house/museums which have one or two original pieces of furniture, Seward house has all the original furnishings and books from the Seward Family. The upstairs is astonishing with its walls of orginal lithographs of from Seward's collection of individuals he met and hobnobbed with. (Note Andrew Jackson's lithograph - same image that appears on the $20 bill!)
Admission is $8/adult, but is free on the first Fri evening of the month. We actually decided not to go on Fri evening, but rather Sat morning. This proved to be a good decision, as we avoided the crowds, had a virtually private tour, and extra time to look in amazement at the Seward rooms - noticing details...

"What a wonderful piece of history. Great tours given by the docents about an American many people don't know. Senator, governor, secretary of state who was a key part of lincoln's cabinet. The house stayed in seward's family until the 1950s, so everything is personal family memorabilia and furnit..."ure. It's a magnificent house with beautiful gardens. If only the walls could talk. Don't miss it.
