BURLINGTON 

The Society's book, titled "Burlington," is part of the Images of America series published by Arcadia Publishing Co. of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.

About 230 of the thousands of photographs in the Society's collection are featured in the 128-page soft-cover book, together with captions describing the scenes and giving some history of the subjects shown in the photographs.  A short historical sketch of Burlington introduces the images.  The photographs are grouped in seven categories: 

  • Cityscapes and Street Scenes
  • Stores, Shops, and Business Vehicles
  • Manufacturing and Processing Plants
  • Houses - From Humble to Grand
  • Churches and Schools
  • Landmarks and Municipal Facilities
  • Nearby Lakes

The book makes local history available to everyone.  A meander through the pages will bring revelation for the young folks and both recollection and reminiscence for the young at heart.

Price: $23.00 includes sales tax

Lake of the Shining Arrow by Carol DeMarco

Hop on board and cruise Brown's Lake with the local characters and the Chicago crowd that made her a summer playground. Sail through the eras of farmers, resorters, cottagers, and gangsters who put her on the map. Skim over one hundred photos, maps and drawings.

"The Burlington Historical Society welcomes "Lake of the Shining Arrow" Carol DeMarco's history of Brown's Lake. Making use of the Historical Society archives of photos, artifacts, newspapers and maps, Carol has spent many hours in research both here and at the Burlington Library. I hope this sparks your interest and curiosity in the history of the Burlington Area."
