The historical walk is taken from Visions of the Plains - A History of Burren Junction and District, 2nd edition updated to include events of 1988-2004 by Judy Field. We have taken 29 significant sites in town that form part of the history of our little village. We hope you enjoy the tour.
The history of the town of Burren Junction is mainly based on recalled memory and is therefore necessarily subject to human error. What it does reveal, however, is a story of human resourcefulness and community commitment as the people of the town and district bonded together to develop a town from out of a wilderness of dusty black soil plains only disturbed by a stretch of railway line and a small cluster of construction workers' tents.
