Such a pleasant Sunday afternoon! Saw the ad in the papers and decided to drive out to--YES, My FAVORITE historic home! All decorated for Christmas and they even had many tour guides--one per ROOM, to explain the details of each room and its inhabitants of the past. I learn something new every time I come here. The FREE tours are especially appreciated to people on budgets, like me. Everyone there--the volunteers--are so welcoming and helpful. I could move right into this well maintained place. Get on their mailing list so you don't miss any upcoming activities there. Parking is limited, but there are lots next door and close by. I stayed and meandered for an hour +1/2. How fortunate we are to have this attraction so close by and with so much to offer its visitors of all ages!

This tour is wonderful for history buffs. The house is packed with art and sculpture from the time period and the docents are knowledgeable about every piece. The tour lasts about and hour, but we could have spent hours there, taking it all in. Take your time through the basement exhibits -- there is a lot to read down there. We entered the tour knowing Seward = Alaska, left knowing so much more about the man, his family, and his era.

This is one of the best museums that I have ever visited. Small, but full of info on Seward and his role in our nation's history. I had no idea before I visited the house years ago that Seward was to be assassinated the same night as Lincoln. The tour guides are extremely knowledgeable and have plenty of interesting stories to tell about Mr. Seward. I highly recommend that you visit this place!

The house is quite large and contains items owned by William Seward, himself, as well as by his descendants. Hearing about these possessions allows visitors to get a better understanding of life in the 19th century, especially in terms of politics and the Civil War. Our excellent guide gave a thorough background to Seward as well as the house and Auburn. There were several children on the tour, and the guide made it a point to involve them and to answer all of their questions.

A wonderful museum! Our guide Mitchell was excellent. We arrived 30 minutes before the next tour but took us on our own tour so we didn't have to wait. The home is filled with wonderful items from the Seward family. I'm so glad we stopped. I have a new affection for Seward! We definitely would go back! Thank you Mitchell!

Thanks so much for your feedback and for your volunteer services!

Because William Henry Seward and his descendents had (and have) such a keen sense of history, virtually everything in the house is as it was when he was alive. (Notable exception: An original painting was removed, but I hope it will be restored to its proper place in the house through legal action brought by the family.) The house stayed in the family until 1955. If you have any interest in U.S. history or world history of the 1800s (since Seward traveled so much), Seward House is a must-see. So many historic homes (such as Mount Vernon and Monticello) have sparse furnishings and, even then, only "of the period." Here you see the actual furniture, books, china, etc. It's amazing! Plan ahead so you can take a guided tour. Well worth the time.

For history lovers, the Seward House is outstanding. His descendants with an eye towards history have preserved the house and its contents both completely and carefully. It's an amazing treasure trove of William Seward furniture, paintings, and documents. The house itself is in very good condition. The home tour guides are both knowledgeable and friendly. Additionally, there are several other very good tour stops in Auburn, NY.

We toured this house and learned so much. It was such a cool collection of family heirlooms, even the kids enjoyed it.

It was great learning about the live of William Steward. We did not realized he was also attacked the night Lincoln was killed.
