Burnside Township witnessed the arrival of white settlers in 1854. The township was known as Spring Creek, Union, Milton, and finally Burnside in 1862. Communities in the area were Harlistown, Mt. Carmel, Cannon Junction, and Eggleston. The exhibit will be on display through the end of December 2013. For more information, call the History Center at (651) 388-6024.
