Welcome to Seward House
We invite you to visit Seward House, the historic home of William H. Seward and his family. Located in Auburn, New York, in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, Seward House is a mixture of Federal and Tuscan-style architecture surrounded by two acres of garden and trees. The house has been a registered National Historic Landmark since 1964 and a "Save America's Treasures" site since 2000.
Visiting Seward House is like stepping back in time. Seward House was owned and occupied by four generations of family members from 1816 to 1951. The museum's intact collection of furniture, household items, decorative arts, documents and photographs reflects use by four generations of this remarkable family. Seward House has hosted such distinguished visitors as Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Generals Ulysses S. Grant and George A. Custer, Presidents John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Andrew Johnson, William McKinley and Bill Clinton. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Dorothea Dix and Harriet Tubman have all walked the halls.
Included in Seward House's fine art collection are works by renowned artists Henry Inman, Thomas Cole, Chester Harding, Emanuel Leutze and Daniel Chester French.
