 So many great photos from Clean Sweep! Here's to looking forward to next year.
 Auburn is rich with history — from historical Main Street to the artifacts preserved throughout White River Valley Museum — I am excited to share these stories with all of you each week.

Bobbed hairstyles became popular in the 1920s, and by the middle of the decade were common even on the streets of tiny Auburn. An Auburn barber in 1924 related that the most popular versions of the bob in Auburn were the King Tut, the Shingle, the Dutch bob, and the curly-head – most of which can be seen worn by the members of Auburn High School’s 1924 Girl’s Basketball team.
