The Haunts of History's Hometown: A Seward House Lunchtime Lecture in Auburn — October 8

The Seward House Museum's Lunchtime Lecture Series brings a perfect October topic on October 8: The Haunts of History's Hometown. The hour-long talk explores Auburn through the lens of its own ghost stories and historical mysteries — fitting for a city whose residents include a Lincoln cabinet member, an Underground Railroad conductor, and a state prison warden who saw it all. The Seward House itself, an intact 1816 mansion that the family never modernized, has enough atmospheric rooms to make any story feel real. Doors open at noon.

Date: Thursday, October 8, 2026 Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Location: Seward House Museum, Auburn, NY Cost: See sewardhouse.org for ticket info
