Did Butler, Tennessee See and hear the history of Butler and Watauga Lake. The museum depicts early life and the history in the mountains, featuring artifacts from the Indians, Civil War, and home life through 1948 when the gates of Watauga Dam were closed. The Museum tells the story of "the town that wouldn't drown" through exhibits of items saved by the residents, and by tales of former residents. Let them tell you of life in a small town in the mountains of NE Tennessee. Walk down Main Street and peer into the General Store or see if you've received any mail at the post office. Chat with friends at the BlueBird Tea Room or see who is getting a haircut at Stout's Barber shop. Be sure to notice the photograph of Butler in 1900 and Butler at the end of 1999. |
