Exmore Town Council Honors Local Resident Cara J. Burton for Her Historical Walking Tour Project

Cara J. Burton was honored for her work on the Exmore Walking Tour project at an Exmore Town Council meeting on April 1, 2024. Mayor Douglas Greer gave Burton a Resolution of Appreciation plaque, recognizing her efforts in developing the tour. The tour offers a historical perspective of Exmore's early days as a railroad town, thanks to Burton and her partner, Jim McDaniel's research.

Their research revealed that Exmore was once part of Downingville Plantation and highlighted the diversity of downtown Exmore. The tour was launched at a party hosted by Burton and McDaniel in December 2023.

Over 60 residents from Exmore and nearby areas attended the launch party at the Exmore Town Hall. Attendees shared their memories of Exmore, and contributors to the project, including David Scanlon and Jerry Doughty, were present.

The Exmore Town Council, including Mayor Greer, unanimously voted to give Burton the official Resolution of Appreciation. They publicly thanked her for her work and dedication to the Exmore Walking Tour. The tour not only offers a historical view of the town but also promotes community spirit among residents.

The Exmore Walking Tour is open to the public, with a map available on the town's website. The tour reflects Burton's commitment to preserving and sharing Exmore's history.
