The Park Pavilion was constructed in 2006 and holds a maximum of 250 people. The Pavilion is available for rent by completing a rental agreement form and reserving it. The cost is $150/day and an additional $150 deposit. It is regularly used seasonally for outdoor events, graduation parties, reunions, weddings, and gatherings. It comes with a full kitchen with utensils, microwave, refrigerator, drink cooler, freezer, bathrooms, tables, chairs, and a band stage. The ballfield with lighting and dugouts also comes with the rental, if needed. Reservations are required at the Park Pavilion.

The Park Shelter is a covered pavilion with picnic tables, countertops (great for crockpots, etc), and electric. Reservation is only $10.00 reserving a spot for your event. The small shelter is not required to be reserved to use it but is recommended as its otherwise a first-come first-serve.

HISTORY OF NEW AUBURN

Historical Photo of New Auburn Farmers StoreNew Auburn was originally named Cartwright’s Mills. This was because lumbering was the main industry and David W. Cartwright owned the sawmill. The name was then changed to Cartwright and the sawmill was called Cartwright Mills. Part of the village was in the township of Auburn, which caused the Village to be named New Auburn.

As the trees were cleared from the land, agriculture soon became the main industry, with more farms, and fewer mills. The main industry in present time is the resorts and businesses in the surrounding area and the few businesses within the village limits. Recreation and tourism have replaced agriculture as the main industry as people from outside the area have discovered the beauty of the surrounding lakes.
