"The
three pictures are, one, of the Interurban Depot circa 1921 and the
other of Mrs. R.G.K. Deering at Burleson’s
circa 1923 linotype after the final edition of the long-running Burleson
Dispatcher newspaper in 1985. The paper ran in the building in the
first picture from roughly 1935-1985. The building has been remodeled
and is home to the Burleson Heritage Foundation’s Visitor’s Center
& Museum as seen in picture number three. The building is the site
of Burleson’s
first concrete floor, which is still there, and the first electric
light bulb. The Burleson Heritage Foundation is restoring Interurban
Express Car #330.
On the second Saturday of each October, Burleson
holds Founder’s Day, a large celebration of Burleson Heritage and
Culture." - Robert Griffith, Burleson, Texas, December 06, 2005 |
