Highway 96 in middle Tennessee takes you around Nashville from one side to the other cutting through Franklin, Murfreesboro and a good number of small towns. Auburntown is one of those small towns that highway 96 takes you past but when just speeding by most don’t even know Auburntown is there. The highway starts to curve to the left with Auburntown’s main street cutting down to the right. Taking that right turn leads into the heart of Auburntown and its rich history. Roger Turney has been a key figure in Auburntown. Turney has been mayor since before most of the town’s folks can remember.
