Community Partnerships in Auburn NY


Mitch Maniccia, Facilities Manager, Seward House Museum

Geoff Starks, Director of Development and Outreach,

Cayuga Museum of History and Art

Jeffrey Ludwig, PhD, Director of Education, Seward House Museum


Panelists from Auburn’s Cayuga Museum of History and Art and Seward House Museum will discuss the development of an immersive “Hands-On History Camp.” Founded out of a partnership between these historic sites, as well as with the Harriet Tubman National Historic Park and Auburn’s city library system, the story of the camp’s success serves as a model for reimagining collaboration. Whereas previously the partner sites competed for campers or shied away from attempting such a program, together they combined forces (and resources) to create a unique and popular experience for history-minded campers that brought out the best from each organization. Engage with this panel to learn about the planning and development of the camp, the challenges faced before and after the pandemic, how organizers formed inclusive new relationships within community groups to expand outreach, and various strategies for fundraising to make the camp accessible to all audiences.
