About Burton
Burton is a quiet rural spot in Adams County, located about four miles east of Quincy among open fields and country lanes. Settled in the 1830s, this historic little crossroads offers a peaceful setting for folks looking for acreage or a slower pace outside the city. Local kids head down the road to school in Payson, while Quincy is close enough that heading into town for groceries, dining, or a daily commute takes only a few minutes.
