Park Details

The General Butler State Resort Park is named for early American General William O. Butler of Kentucky who fought in the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War. The park was built on the grounds of the Butler family farm which was begun by General Butler’s father Percival Butler who fought in the Revolutionary War. Still standing is the Butler-Turpin House which was built in 1859 for Mary Eleanor Butler, niece of General Butler, and her husband Philip Turpin. Today the Butler-Turpin House is a museum open for guided tours and features pieces from the family’s history. The park also has a large lodge, campground, event center, and lake for visitors to explore.
