A Familiar Front Page Is Back!
There’s something special about holding a local newspaper in your hands—and we’re thrilled to see that The Burlington Post is back in print, with free copies now available at all Burlington Public Library branches.
For generations of readers, The Post was a household staple. From 1968 to 2023, it delivered the stories that shaped our community—award-winning reporting, familiar faces, and moments both big and small. It’s where we read about graduations and championship games, births and anniversaries, City Hall decisions, and everyday happenings. Its pages reported the news and reflected our lives.
Today, that tradition continues with a new monthly edition, ready to be picked up, flipped through, and shared.
And while the presses are once again rolling, the stories of the past are never far away.
