The Agitators Specialty Tours

In this special reading event, illustrator Susan Keeter will join the SHM team in leading a read-along of her book, An Apple for Harriet Tubman.

The 2024 Lunchtime Lecture Series concludes its spring season by highlighting the work of two of our recent interns. Maria LaFleur of LeMoyne College and Fred VanBeuren of Wells College share their senior research projects: a look at patterns of fatherhood within the Seward family and a new appraisal of William Seward’s trip around the world. This event will take place at the Equal Rights Heritage Center and is free and open to the public.

Enjoy a gift shop exhibit by Stephanie Wuchter, complimentary refreshments, and rooms in the Museum open for interpretation. This event is free and open to the public.

Yale scholar Connor Williams will discuss his in-progress book on William Seward, Our Domestic Enemy, which outlines how Seward perceived the Confederacy during his pre and post Civil War tenure as Secretary of State. Williams will also share from his recent work as Lead Historian for The Naming Commission of the Department of Defense, a body tasked with modern day issues of commemoration and public memory. This event will take place at the Equal Rights Heritage Center. Admission: $10 Members, $15 Non-Members.
