Rainy weather was socked in for the day so we walked over to the museum and did the tour. It was informative and learned a lot about the 64 earthquake !
Thanks to all those who developed the interesting exhibits! Now we know about Alaska Nellie and the 1964 earthquake. (I remember reading about it in my Weekly Reader!) There's a lot on display and we were fascinated.
This was an interesting small museum with a cross-section of every day life for residents of Seward over time . There's also a good movie about the 64 earthquake.
The Seward Museum is a hidden treasure located inside of the Seward Library. It has displays on the railroad system, sled dogs, early Seward, and so much more. It houses a wealth of history and information that you wouldn't expect to find. We also were able to see a video on the 1964 earthquake in another room. There was a small admission fee but very well worth it. Plan on a few hours. Just a little side note. The purple tiles are awesome on the outside of the building.
Based on what others had said, we went to the library for the museum. It's a very nice museum with a series of exhibits that tie stories to specific Seward people along with artifacts that put the stories into context. Nice way to kill some time and learn something. Only $10 to get in.
I liked the movie and history of Seward in this museum. Had seen the movie in the Library a few years back but the staff made it more interesting.
There was some interesting historical information at the museum and a very informative video on the big earthquake. The lighting in the museum left something to be desired.
There was some interesting things in the Seward Museum, but it did not seem very focused, and they did not appear to highlight significant people or events. A little reorganizing would help.
They have a nice movie about the earthquake. They have a kids activity where the kids can earn a special pin. It kept us entertained for a bit.
Neat little museum in the Seward Library. The movie showing scenes from the earthquake is really something worth watching. It's amazing how more people weren't lost in that disaster. The film shows the massive fires and destruction. It's well worth the $5.00 entry fee to relive the history of Seward.
