Guest Lecture: Seward House’s Dr. Jeff Ludwig
May 8 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Free With Museum Admission
As we prepare for the 2024 election season, Seward House Museum Director of Education Dr. Jeff Ludwig explores the politics behind William Seward’s three campaigns for New York Governor in the late 1830s and early 1840s. These early beginnings of Seward’s career as a reformer with a radical reputation are deeply connected to Syracuse and Onondaga County – a stronghold of activist ferment. Dr. Ludwig will also discuss Seward’s career as New York’s 12th Governor, and how those years sharpened his national ambitions.
