Seward Day at Seward Park in Auburn
Local scouting troops honored William H. Seward, the former New York state governor and secretary of state to Abraham Lincoln, at the 76th annual Seward Day ceremony at Seward Park May 1. The scouts also recognized Seward Day's founder and lifelong Scout, Harold J. Short. In 1947, Short decided that the scouting community should do something positive, peaceful and patriotic that would be in contrast to the May Day military celebrations held in the Soviet Union.
