New Auburn
Liner notes
A midwest folk song about New Auburn, Wisconsin, where North Street splits the county line and the old Cartwright's mill history lingers in the air. The lyrics sing of the blue and gold pride of the Trojans and gatherings at the open-walled park shelter on East Street. It captures the quiet transition from a bustling lumber town to a peaceful village surrounded by glacial ridges.
