River runs through it
The Maitland has been a significant part of Auburn's history
and its personality, from the challenges it presented to
inhabitants in the early days to its scenic and recreational
attractions today. In a 1955 story in The Blyth Standard,
Charles Asquith of Auburn told how Eneas Elkin, after
taking up the farm on the northwest corner of Hullett Twp.,
had set up a ferry service across the Maitland to he run by
his wife during the day when the men were busy in the field.
Although it was unknown exactly where the ferry crossed
the river, Asquith speculated it was probably a little north of
where the dam was built. (Photo courtesy of Ruth Jardin)
