The pandemic may have put a damper on a lot of activities this year but BHS has been busy sprucing up the Elton Tavern so it will be ready to host events in the near future. Some of the notable fixes include a new back porch, refinished wood floors and a newly leveled stone walkway.

Saturday June 13 is CT Open House Day. In light of the pandemic, organizers have decided to turn this event into a virtual one. Therefore, in lieu of visiting Burlington’s historic Elton Tavern, please enjoy this short video tour of the Tavern, put together by the board members of the Burlington Historical Society.

The 2020 recipient of the Elsie Hutchin’s Scholarship is Riley Delaney!

On behalf of the board of directors of the Burlington Historical Society, we wish Riley all the best as he continues his studies at Marist College this fall, majoring in American Studies. Congratulations!

Our 2nd annual wine tasting was a huge success and we couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you for your support!

Due to the impending snowstorm, we will be decorating the tavern and accepting cookies EARLIER than previously stated. The new time will be Sunday 12/1 10 am – 12 pm. Please see the updated flyers below.
