The building has its own long history as the original was built in 1870 but burned in the fire of March 1989. After the rail closed in Burton, the building was bought by Max Zuehke and moved up the road next to Highway 290. It sat there for 30 years when it was bought by the Burton Heritage Society (thanks to Bill & Evelyn Shaw) and was moved back to its home site on Railroad Street. https://www.burtonheritagesociety.org/new-page-43 daily 0.75 2024-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/8b529e29-f354-461d-8a8b-c47f1f210cbd/Schwartz+%26+Schwartz+oldest+pic+JS.jpg Burton Bits Image courtesy of Jeanette Schwartz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/e6c5f50d-22ae-493f-adae-42b5aa4a5a64/Phillips+66+Station+owned+by+Dickson+.managed+by+Schwartz+and+W.jpg Burton Bits Image courtesy of Texas Cotton Gin Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/43802fb0-9373-4a3c-b982-963047b5e351/Burton+High+School+Marker+12.21.PNG Burton Bits Image courtesy of Burton Heritage Society https://www.burtonheritagesociety.org/lilmissandmrranger daily 0.75 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1709760369817-K7AVRVOOLO0W7MRTZLHC/lil+miss+and+mr.jpg Lil Miss and Mr Ranger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1709760369826-ROMND89RUQJQ2OE2NPH4/53226191_2278568232205622_366481858491318272_n.jpg Lil Miss and Mr Ranger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1709760391368-48CBTX2QR4U3X0Q6H81V/IMG_2315+%281%29.JPG Lil Miss and Mr Ranger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1709760371707-G47K36Q9VOZT4G8UYT0A/1a4e26a2-2c89-4512-be28-0f2d3a8bc166.jpg Lil Miss and Mr Ranger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1709760391453-TI6F7CF8DAPZBLM0DW9H/331176903_3444459582466877_3949209841005043004_n.jpg Lil Miss and Mr Ranger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1709760392215-LHZ8A804ADD4CQ2JF6VZ/335433125_1343139586264294_8568026304206540953_n.jpg Lil Miss and Mr Ranger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1709760392614-X42W78FYVP5ZQ4MP5XB4/335433795_515090717365046_7688766196778986488_n.jpg Lil Miss and Mr Ranger https://www.burtonheritagesociety.org/new-page-71 daily 0.75 2024-07-15 https://www.burtonheritagesociety.org/new-page-18 daily 0.75 2024-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1733756820202-LODE7XF6KOZVNASFSSXI/2d494b40-dc04-4585-a4c5-2390d6fac74e.jpg Smithsonian comes to WC 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1733757165162-AUSJJ7DQFB797GNVEWYR/469057575_122124279818530499_6822935261323723081_n.jpg Smithsonian comes to WC 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1733757165186-TKTDSZJBC0R2QALMY0BF/469111795_18387470242098807_5879774466084093674_n.jpg Smithsonian comes to WC 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1733757166061-BTJ5BSXAEI15G0DO0T2K/468950221_18387470251098807_7193491356488643556_n.jpg Smithsonian comes to WC 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1733757166281-T7L826IZVIAKJ8A8BJWF/468431903_122124061028530499_2584837633055162919_n.jpg Smithsonian comes to WC 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1733925424425-LTREBL5ADMKOVVO9AFSS/exhibit+2.jpg Smithsonian comes to WC 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1733925915817-UO1HDNI55M3WGZHYKE4R/5329_+labeled.jpg Smithsonian comes to WC 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/1733926059360-B7REIM5YPWQLVOMS8I99/5181+_label.jpg Smithsonian comes to WC 2024 https://www.burtonheritagesociety.org/longlifeopenhouse daily 0.75 2025-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5528051ee4b00854b5d5eca2/01d2703a-27fe-4f9f-a4ed-6a04aa1c8ad6/LLB+Open+House.png Long Life Open House Join the Long Life Brotherhood and the Burton Heritage Society to celebrate the legacy of community support by the Long Life Brotherhood with food and fellowship!
