Line 80 ⟶ 85:
Burnside was a center for shipping by rail and steamboat packet. Its lumber mills sent products around the world. The town boasted retail stores, saloons, a post office, restaurants, churches, a bank, hotels, and even Burnside Academy {{ndash}} the first Wesleyan preparatory school in the state.
In the early 1950s, the entire town was relocated to higher ground due to the impounding of [[Lake Cumberland]]. The town had once been a thriving community. American author [[Harriette Simpson Arnow]] who was known for her book ''[[The Dollmaker (novel)|The Dollmaker]]'' lived in Burnside as a child.
Burnside is one of several places that lay claim to be home to the first Boy Scout troop in the United States. In 1908, two years before the [[Boy Scouts of America]] was officially organized, Mrs. Myra Greeno Bass organized a local troop of 15 boys, using official Boy Scout materials she had acquired from England. A [[Scouting memorials|sign at the edge of town]] declares Burnside "Birthplace of Boy Scouts in America", and an official state historical society marker commemorates the troop.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.cardcow.com/239533/first-boy-scout-troop-historical-marker-burnside-kentucky/ | title=First Boy Scout Troop Historical Marker | accessdate=July 8, 2012}}</ref>
