Resurrection Bay Historical Society: Founder’s Day

Founders’ Day marks the date a landing party disembarked from the steamship Santa Ana in 1903 to found the community of Seward as the ocean terminus of Alaska Central Railway. RBHS members will host an open house from 11 am – 2 pm Monday, Aug. 28 at the Seward Community Library and Museum. This year is the centennial of the completion of the 470-mile railway from Seward to Fairbanks. Anniversary cake, music on the pump organ, a slide show and free admission to the museum are on the agenda. You’re invited to join in the celebration!
