is a picture taken at the Richelieu-Bucksville Day in
2008 of Randy Lee and Gail Guiling. Randy with his file
was on a membership drive and with his charisma coaxing
Gail to become a member. Time
sure changes things - with the boot on the other foot -
the 2009-10 membership drive is being spearheaded by
Gail. She will be working her charm (long distance) on
Randy, who has moved to Florida, but still has a house
in Auburn. |
The membership fee is $10.00 per person annually. Corporate Membership and
Sponsorship is also available which includes free
admittance to the Museum throughout the year.

American Drummer Boy
On Friday October 30, 2009
the Auburn Historical Society presented a showing of the
movie “American Drummer Boy” at the American Legion Hall in
Auburn.
The independent film by Writer/Director
C. Dorian Walker and Producer, Elain Nogay Walker, was shot in
Logan, Warren and Simpson counties in Kentucky and in Memphis,
Tennessee.
The story takes place in the Western
Theater of the American Civil War and chronicles the
coming-of-age of young Johnny Boone who runs away from his
Kentucky farm in hopes of joining his hometown unit, Company A
of the 11th Kentucky Infantry, U.S. His adventures
take him behind Confederate lines where he is captured and
accused of being a spy. With the help of a shady English
minstrel, he escapes but is forced to masquerade as a Rebel
drummer with the 24th Mississippi Regiment. He
experiences battle on the other side before eventually
escaping to the North and finding his unit. There while
serving as a drummer boy, he demonstrates valor under fire and
is awarded the Medal of Honor.
