This presentation talks about the long-dismissed strength and intelligence of the Seward matriarch, Frances. Throughout her life, Frances fought for the rights of women and abolition from behind her husband’s pen and the walls of her Auburn home.

Kate Grindstaff, the Education and Outreach Coordinator at the Seward House Museum, is passionate about researching diverse historical perspectives and presenting this information to the public through storytelling and exhibition.

This program will be held in the drawing room at Opendore. The doors will open at 3pm for visitors to view exhibits.
