Immigration on the Erie Canal: A Seward House Lunchtime Lecture in Auburn — September 24

The Seward House Museum's Lunchtime Lecture Series explores how immigration shaped the people and places along the Erie Canal on September 24. Auburn sits at the edge of that water corridor — and William Henry Seward, the museum's namesake, was a senator and secretary of state whose view of immigration became part of national debate. The one-hour talk connects the canal's past to the landscape you are already traveling through, and it is the kind of midday anchor that makes a Cayuga County day trip feel genuinely full.

Date: Thursday, September 24, 2026 Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Location: Seward House Museum, 33 South St, Auburn, NY Cost: See sewardhouse.org
