H-Auburn

Welcome!

H-Auburn is a blog about the history of the town of Auburn, Massachusetts.

My name is John Hartwell, and I was a resident of Auburn for many years, during which time I was deeply involved with the Auburn Historical Society, the Auburn Historical Commission, and the study of Auburn local history generally. Many, I'm sure, will remember me and my Auburn News column “A View from the Hill”, which ran for several years in the late 1980s and early '90s, and intermittently thereafter. Although no longer residing in town, my interest is still strong, and I have a great deal of material I have uncovered over the past thirty-plus years, that I want to share with anyone interested in the past of that unique polity that is Auburn.
