Saturday: At noon, the American Legion Post and the Chester P. Tuttle Post 279, escorted by the Auburn Police Department., will conduct a salute at all 13 veterans squares in town, starting with the first salute and wreath placement at Tuttle Square.
894 flags were put in the cemeteries on all of the grave markers for their fallen veterans.
There will be no parade and events on Sunday and Monday, said Town Manager Julie Jacobson.
“The parade and other events had been cancelled due to COVID restrictions, so even with the changes announced last week by the state, it was too late to plan any additional events,” Jacobson said.

In June 2013, a three-alarm fire was reported in the four-unit building on Cushing Street. A 16-year-old girl called 911 around 2:19 a.m. and reported she was home alone and trapped on the second floor of the burning apartment building. I was working that night, Myers recalled. I drove the engine out of the South End station and quickly arrived on the scene, seeing her house engulfed in flames. That call will stay with me forever because we were able to get her out safely. I still keep in touch with her to this day, and check on her on the anniversary of the fire.

Here is more about Dover s hills. Moving south from Tuttle Square and the top of Plato s Hill is Pine Hill. We associate this now with the cemetery, but there is actually a height of land on the northerly side with a fine view over the city leading the eye to Garrison Hill at the far end.
As mentioned recently, this was the site of the third Meetinghouse in 1710, and in 1731 one and a half acres adjacent were set aside by the town as a burial ground. This was also the location of an early schoolhouse. Over the years additional land has been purchased and added to the cemetery, reaching out beyond Watson Street and along Court Street to the foot of what has been known as Mt.

Pleasant Park, at the
