In 2005 the Board of Trustees purchased 67 acres (formerly known as the Cathan Farm) from the Western Reserve Land Conservancy (WRLC) for the purpose of creating a community park.
This 67 acres is protected by a Conservation Easement which is divided into 2 categories: “Natural Area” (passive park) and “Open Field Area” (active park). The agreement between WRLC and Auburn Township is a perfect fit. Much needed sports fields, a playground, parking lot and concession stand is planned for the active park and walking trails for the passive park area.
In the summer of 2011 we broke ground for an access drive off Munn Road.
This phase of Auburn Community Park development was funded by a $100,000.00 State of Ohio grant that was made possible by State Senator Timothy Grendell.
Auburn Trustees are working closely with Kenston Community Education (KCE) to determine size and locations of the fields which will best meet the community’s needs.
In addition to the $100,000 grant, KCE, along with community leaders, have pledged to raise funds for specific needs such as a concession stand, field irrigation, and field layout.

The sign in front of our historic Museum tells a story: Auburn’s first settler, Bildad Bradley, arrived in 1815. Two years later, in 1817, Auburn was established as a Township. The Free Will Baptist Church was built in 1840 and was converted to the present Museum in 1973, but this building is still in its original location.
The Museum is open to the public after the annual Memorial Day Parade and celebration. The sign in front of the Museum was designed and built by an Auburn Boy Scout as his Eagle Scout Project. It is the model for the signs at Shadyside and Maple Shade Cemeteries.
