Burton

Burton lies along the former Houston and Texas Central Railroad corridor in Texas’s Brazos Valley, and the railway helped establish the town as a trading point for nearby farms. Founded in 1870, it retains a compact historic core of nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century commercial buildings. Cotton remains central to its local story: the Texas Cotton Gin Museum preserves the 1914 Burton Farmers Gin, while the annual Cotton Gin Festival brings that agricultural heritage into public view. Surrounding Washington County is known for the rolling central Texas countryside and seasonal wildflower displays. See how Burton fits into the wider Brazos Valley by browsing webcams nearby.
