Burnham has a Chicago ZIP code, and is often mistakenly considered part of Chicago. It is, however, an independent municipality lying just south of the Chicago city limits.

Burnham was named for Telford Burnham who drew its plat; not, as is widely assumed, by Chicago city planner and architect Daniel Burnham.

Wanted to post a local geocache and was surprised to see nothing at this park. This geocache is pretty well camouflaged and not in plain sight.

***THIS CACHE IS NOT NEAR THE RAILROAD TRACKS, IT IS INSIDE OF THE FENCE SURROUNDING THE PARK- DO NOT GO NEAR THE TRACKS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE.***
