In the early 1900s, during the gold rush, people relied on dog sled teams traveling the Iditarod Trail to deliver mail, supplies and imports to their villages and towns — and Seward was the main port. Teams would travel from Seward with the goods to reach their destinations. Discover the importance of dog sledding and experience a ride by taking a dog sledding tour during your trip.

Sweet Darlings was first established in 1997 by Hugh and Iris Darling. Hugh's great grandfather was T.W. Hawkins – co-founder of Brown and Hawkins. When Hugh's mother, Virginia, started to age and needed assistance, Hugh and Iris moved to Seward to help out. They assisted with her in being landlord to the Brown and Hawkins building.
Hugh had always had a sweet tooth and couldn't help himself by indulging in the finest of chocolates and sweets.
That's when he and Iris decided to establish Sweet Darlings.
Fast forward to 2019; Hugh and Iris are in their 80s and want to retire. Bruce ended up moving to the Midwest with his wife to be closer to her family. Sweet Darlings was in the midst of closing its doors for good. Until, a previous employee decided to step up and buy the store from the Darlings.
A.J. Seese and his wife, Pam Seese, are the current owners of Sweet Darlings. A.J. started working on and off at Sweet Darlings since he was 13 years old. His grandmother, Sharyl Seese, had been good friends with Iris and Hugh since before Sweet Darlings was established. So, the transition to the Seese family was pretty seamless.
Pam and A.J. have brought a new breath of fresh air to Sweet Darlings, and are determined to build off of the already solid legacy that Sweet Darlings has. Their goal is to always search for the best ingredients and to discover new sweets that Sweet Darlings guests' will enjoy.
