关于我们

Situated on a magnificent 167-acre site overlooking the city, we encourage visitors to explore the natural beauty of Round Top Mountain, learn about its ecology, revisit the lives of farmers from the 1800s, and tour the Burritt Mansion. For over 60 years Burritt has been an attraction that everyone can enjoy. The site is home to Dr. William Henry Burritt’s unique 1938 mansion. Learn the story of Dr. Burritt and his three wives, his penchant for goat’s milk, and how his vocation of homeopathic medicine led him to build one of the city’s most unique and eccentric homes. The Historic Park consists of 6 authentic 19th century homes typical of life in the Cumberland Plateau, along with a blacksmith shop and assorted outbuildings. Interpreters in authentic period dress are on hand to answer questions, give tours, and demonstrate life as it was on a farm during the 1800s. At the heart of the Historic Park is The McCurdy Barnyard, home to a variety of authentic farm animals that educate young and old about the animals’ purpose on a farm. The Nature Trails at Burritt are perfect for hiking to enjoy the wide variety of wildflowers in spring or the colorful mountain foliage in fall. Burritt’s trails circle around Round Top Mountain and connect to the LandTrust of Madison County and Monte Sano State Park. Geocachers come from around the world to explore the mountain and find our cache.

    We’re thrilled to recognize Fred Ecklund as November’s Volunteer of the Month! A quiet force behind Burritt’s beauty, Fred’s tireless work on our trails has enriched every visitor’s experience. As a “jack of all trades,” Fred has been invaluable to Burritt’s mission, contributing over 8,000 hours in the past 18 years. Reflecting on his Burritt journey, Fred shared, “Burritt became special to us from the start, thanks to his wife Leslie’s childhood memories of the place and her connection as the recently retired CEO. With her encouragement, I began volunteering, transforming Burritt into a top destination through projects on the Preservation & Building Committee. Taking on the trail system was especially meaningful, blending Burritt’s natural beauty with accessible paths for our community. Staying active outdoors keeps me both physically and mentally healthy, and it’s deeply rewarding to preserve these ecosystems for future generations.” https://lnkd.in/g5Rq3zZC
