After moving to Freeport, Illinois, Burchard served in the State House of Representatives from 1863 to 1866.

After 1879, Burchard served in many capacities including Director of the United States Mint (1879-1885), member of the commission to revise Illinois revenue laws (1885-1886), and head of the jury of awards of the mining department of the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago (1893).
