In 2011, the Auburn Area Historical Society decided to sell commemorative Christmas Ornaments as a possible fund raiser. The ornaments would have a different historic Auburn-related them each year. The Auburn Shale Brick Company plant was the theme of the first year's ornament, due to the fact that it was also the theme of Auburn's 150th Anniversary celebration and the fact that the brick plant employed several generations of Auburn residents before it finally closed. Each year since 2011, another historic site has been selected by majority vote and rendered into a beautiful Christmas Ornament. In 2012, the Auburn High School was chosen. The theme for our 2013 ornament was the St. John's Church. Our 2014 Ornament was the Auburn Church of God. In 2015, our choice was the Auburn Fire Company. The 2016 Ornament was one of the Auburn Post Office's locations. 2017's choice was the Hotel Auburn. In 2018, the A.A.H.S. members made the difficult decision to quit producing Christmas Ornaments due to a large minimum order quantity and an increase in price which would result in significant financial loss for our organization.

2018 -
No Ornament Produced Unfortunately, the A.A.H.S. didn't produce a Christmas ornament for the 2018 calendar year due to cost feasibility. The manufacturer sets a minimum production quantity to create any new ornament which exceeds our demand. As a result, we have consistently ended each season with a significant surplus of each ornament. We didn't mind this surplus as long as we could at least "break even" with expenses, but during the past year the cost of each ornament increased to the point that the A.A.H.S. would experience a financial loss every year to continue this tradition. We do not foresee any justification to continue producing the ornaments at a loss, so as of this year the A.A.H.S. will no longer be offering Christmas Ornaments for sale.
