AUBURN - While all visitors to the Seward House during its 50th year are welcome, the Auburn museum is especially looking for a visitor from North Dakota.

The memorial to Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of State, New York governor and senator William H. Seward has been viewed by 10,950 guests from 49 states - all but North Dakota. Last year, the museum welcomed its first South Dakota visitor. And now, the museum's staff of five and volunteer core of 50 are looking to the north.
