Auburn, New Hampshire
Auburn was first settled by Native Americans in 1624. It
was in fact a fishing settlement named Massabesic meaning “the place of much
water”, which is where the lake got its’ name. British settlers arrived in 1720
and made peace with the Native Americans until the French and Indian War, at
which time the Massabesic settlement was destroyed and the neighboring town of
Chester claimed the land. It wasn’t until 1845 that was it was incorporated
with the name of Auburn.
The
town of Auburn is 28.7 square miles, 3.5 of which are water. Lake Massabesic is
fed by several tributaries and supplies water to Manchester and surrounding
towns. The town was named after a Oliver Goldsmith 18th- century
poem called “The Deserted Village,”
Sweet Auburn! Loveliest village of the plain
Where health and plenty
cheered the laboring swain
Where smiling spring its
earliest visit paid
And parting summer’s
lingering blooms delayed
Our
custom ornament process starts with an idea, logo, or picture. With the
specific image in hand, our artists begin working to create a 3-D mold so we
can begin hand-casting the pewter ornament. Once the design is completed and
the mold is made, we begin to cast the ornaments in our lead-free pewter.
Each ornament is then antiqued, buffed and finished by hand, and packaged in a
poly-zip bag complete with a red ribbon.
Please
give our friendly customer service team a call at 866.282.7384 to discuss your
ideas and get your custom ornament started.
