Inhaltsangabe

Burton, the first settlement in Geauga County, is known as the "village where history lives"; this is not merely a memorable slogan but an apt description of a vital and unique community that has been host to innumerable historic events and personalities. From

being the site of the first telephone lines in Ohio to the home of Seabury Ford, the last Whig governor of Ohio, Burton is rife with history. The only municipal maple sugar camp in the world, which produces maple syrup every spring and manufactures maple candy

year-round, resides in Burton, as does the Great Geauga County Fair, the oldest county fair in Ohio. Hundreds of thousands flock to this charming destination every year to attend the various festivities, including the Great Geauga County Fair and the Apple Butter

Festival, as well as to indulge in delicious pancake breakfasts.
