Auburn's tourist at-
traction is the peaceful,
scenic Four Seasons
Camp, located just north-
west of Auburn.
The campgrounds, on
the Maitland River, were
developed by Pete and
Pauline Glenn five years
ago. There are 85 acres
.altogether, but all of it is
not fully developed yet.
There Lire about 100 lots
so far and almost half of
those have hydro,. water
.and sewers. • Some
campers come for the
whole season, about 20
this year. The camp has
had a swimming pool for
the past two years.
Four Seasons Camp
does not have the
problem with rowdiness
that some camps do. The
Glenns only allow
families to camp there.
Orie camper, who has
been visiting Four
Seasons for five years,
says he likes the quiet,
peaceful camping area.
"And there's good fishing
on the Maitland."
The Auburn Hor-
ticultural Society was
.formed. in 1950 by Mr.
A.J. Jackman and Mr.
Roseborough of Owen
Sound, who were sent by
the Ontario Horticultural
Department in Toronto.
One of the first projects
undertaken by the society
in .1952 was ' the con-
struction and placement
of the 'Auburn' cement
letters at the east and
west ends of the village.
' During the years, the
society has planted
several trees. In 1953, a
coronation maple tree
was planted in honor of
Queen Elizabeth II. In
1961, two low junipers and
a spruce were planted at
the west end Auburn
letters, and in 1966 a
centennial flowering crab
was put on the lawn of the
county yard at the corner
of Goderich Street and
Mill Road. A flowering
crab was planted in the
Ethelwyn bed in 1967...
R e c e n. t_l..y____the....._s.o c.i.et-y--
planted a new maple tree.
The Society's biggest
bed is the Manchester
garden, where the
Forester's hall used to be.
The members maintain
the garden and plant new
flowers every year.
The orticultural
Society h:s about 60
members this year. Mrs.
Dorothy . Grange is
president, and her vice
presidents are Mrs. Ross
Robinson and- Mrs. Ross
Andrews. • Secretary is
Mrs. Tom Haggit, and
Mrs. Eleanor Bradnock is
the treasurer.
The Horticultural Society erected those letters in 1952
