Burton Heritage Society

The Burton Heritage Society was established in March of 1973 by a group of citizens concerned about preserving and sharing the history of our community. There were 97 charter members. The first project of the newly formed Society was the cleaning and restoration of the Mt. Zion Cemetery (Often referred to as McNelly Cemetery). In following years the Society also restored the old Burton Bank building, now the City Hall. In 1990 the Burton Heritage Society returned the Burton Depot to almost its original location and restored the structure. Our organization is still going strong and we continue to actively maintain and protect the
historic Burton Railroad Depot
and the Mt. Zion Baptist Church.
