seward museum

I liked the movie and history of Seward in this museum. Had seen the movie in the Library a few years back but the staff made it more interesting.

This was an interesting small museum with a cross-section of every day life for residents of Seward over time . There's also a good movie about the 64 earthquake.

Neat little museum in the Seward Library. The movie showing scenes from the earthquake is really something worth watching. It's amazing how more people weren't lost in that disaster. The film shows the massive fires and destruction. It's well worth the $5.00 entry fee to relive the history of Seward.

Such an interesting town in an amazing state. So much information and displays to see and read about. Very clean and nice. Staff are very pleasant. Would definitely visit again. Always something new to learn and see.

Based on what others had said, we went to the library for the museum. It's a very nice museum with a series of exhibits that tie stories to specific Seward people along with artifacts that put the stories into context. Nice way to kill some time and learn something. Only $10 to get in.

Friendly staff and good exhibits about the history of Seward. Good place to stop by to get acquainted with Seward.

The Seward Museum is a hidden treasure located inside of the Seward Library. It has displays on the railroad system, sled dogs, early Seward, and so much more. It houses a wealth of history and information that you wouldn't expect to find. We also were able to see a video on the 1964 earthquake in another room. There was a small admission fee but very well worth it. Plan on a few hours. Just a little side note. The purple tiles are awesome on the outside of the building.

There was some interesting historical information at the museum and a very informative video on the big earthquake. The lighting in the museum left something to be desired.

The film about the great 1964 9.2 earthquake. As a resident of Southern California, we take our earthquakes seriously, and the original 8mm film footage taken of this event is singularly worth the trip. They advertise that the film is played at 2:00 pm, but when I arrived after 3:00pm, the librarian was happy to start it for me then. As I left, she was starting it again for others who had arrived part-way through my viewing. It shares space with the Library, and it's worth seeing.

Lots of very important history of Seward and Alaska. Make sure to watch the video on the 1964 Earthquake, very informative and you get a personal account of how the earthquake affected the inhabitants of Seward and the surrounding area.$5 per person to get in. Great idea for a rainy day.

Thanks to all those who developed the interesting exhibits! Now we know about Alaska Nellie and the 1964 earthquake. (I remember reading about it in my Weekly Reader!) There's a lot on display and we were fascinated.

The first exhibits in this museum are not tremendous; they do a good job of depicting life in the North, but are not unique. But wait until you get to the last exhibit, on personal experiences of the 1964 earthquake - this is what the visit should be about. One woman talks about the returning waves that occurred that day; it is frightening.

Rainy weather was socked in for the day so we walked over to the museum and did the tour. It was informative and learned a lot about the 64 earthquake !

There was some interesting things in the Seward Museum, but it did not seem very focused, and they did not appear to highlight significant people or events. A little reorganizing would help.

They have a nice movie about the earthquake. They have a kids activity where the kids can earn a special pin. It kept us entertained for a bit.
