"A Subject for the Fourth of July"

July 3rd, 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM:

Join us for a very special First Friday event featuring a concert by the Auburn Civic Band, an open house of the Museum, a gift shop exhibit by Finger Lakes native Don Ellis, and a dramatic performance inspired by William Seward’s many Fourth of July orations delivered right here at 33 South Street. Popular reenactor Jack Sherman returns to the role of Mr. Seward, revisiting the Independence Day speeches that riveted his friends and neighbors over the course of nearly half a century.

This event will take place at the Seward House Museum and is free and open to the public.
