Seward's Day takes place on March 31, 2025. Seward's Day is a legal holiday in the U.S. state of Alaska. It falls on the last Monday in March and commemorates the signing of the Alaska Purchase treaty on March 30, 1867. It is named for then-Secretary of State William H. Seward, who negotiated the purchase from Russia. It should not be confused with Alaska Day, which marks the formal transfer of control over Alaska from Russia to the United States. The Alaska Purchase was the United States' acquisition of Alaska from the Russian Empire in 1867 by a treaty ratified by the United States Senate. (With material from: Wikipedia)
