History is hot
AUBURN - Exerting an almost magnetic pull on vacationers and history buffs alike, a widening body of books on the Lincoln administration - led by Doris Kearns Goodwin's “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln” - has been drawing travelers away from their planned routes to the Seward House in Auburn.
The lore and lure of the home have enjoyed a significant boost in popularity as a destination since Goodwin's book, which focuses on the dynamics that governed the bonds between Lincoln and three of his cabinet members, hit the New York Times best seller list in its first week of publication.
Other works, like “Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer” by James L. Swanson and “Assassination Vacation” by Sarah Vowell, have further bolstered the home's cachet among avid readers and history buffs.
