Historic Site 2
Experience of a Lifetime in Burton
Liam, Aidan and I had an amazing stay during the eclipse weekend. Our hosts provide a perfect location for a perfect view of totality. But beyond the eclipse, I was surprised to learn about so many great things going on at the Century Village in Burton. An surprised to find that this hipcamp spot is ideal to stay and walk to the many festivals being planned this year.
My sons and I felt so welcomed by James, his wife and the rest of the Historic Village volunteers that operate this gem of Geauga County. The eclipse festival was quant perfectly suited for the historic village. We enjoyed local artisan vendors and a $10 breakfast in one of the village buildings that included real maple syrup made in the onsite sugar house. We also found time to tour the new maple syrup museum. The festival and the museum were free of charge for the campers.
On top of all that, it was a thrill to meet and talk with other tent and RV campers who traveled from MI, VA, DC. Wonderful, friendly people. What a great group to share the exlipse experience. I can't thank our hosts enough for making this visit to Burton so special.
We will be back for other weekends this summer and fall, esp apple butter and haunted village in October.
