Silas Burke's 1824 Station & The 1,700-Acre Burke Centre Conservancy
Burke traces its history to 1824, when farmer and merchant Silas Burke built his historic brick home along the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. In the late 1970s, Western Fairfax developed Burke Centre—a 1,700-acre master-planned conservancy that won national architectural and environmental awards. Organized into five distinct 'neighborhoods' (The Commons, The Oaks, The Ponds, The Woods, and The Landings), Burke Centre preserved hundreds of acres of forest and open water.
