mtncorg Says: Leon Frank Czolgsz was the 50th man to die in the electric chair in New York State. The electric chair had been developed in 1890 by a Buffalo dentist to offer a more humane execution method than hanging. Czolgsz was the son of an immigrant Polish family from the Michigan...
mtncorg Says: Fort Hill Cemetery is the final home for some of the most illustrative of Auburn’s long past. Dominating the entry as you come into the large burial ground is the 56 ft/17 m high obelisk memorializing Chief Logan on which the end of the Iroquois orator’s Logan’s Lament is...

Auburn has several ethnic neighborhoods incuding Polish,Ukrainian and Italian. Since people have been moving more to the suburbs and out of the city,these neighborhoods have become much less defined, but they are still present. A PBS special 'Neighborhoods' featured a look at Auburn's Ukrainian Catholic community. This is SS Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church.

CROWS Every winter, 35,000 to 70,000 crows flock nightly to Auburn's downtown. This is very unique and a documentary on the 'Auburn Crows' was featured on an episode of 'National Geographic Explorer'. There is a big controversy over these crows. Many downtown business owners find them a nuisance. There is also a group working to save the crows. Their site is www.savethecrows.org
