Visit Butler, a town in Tenessee and one of the most beautiful communities in the area. The town may lack a lot in terms of attractions but it doesn’t stop the adventurous from exploring its natural beauty. The town is most famously known as the “town that wouldn’t drown” after it was submerged in floodwater. The town’s biggest attraction is the Butler Museum, which explains the history of the Indians through the Civil War. If you are lucky to visit the town during the ‘Old Butler Days’ festival, you will get to join the locals in celebrating the original community through live music, Southern food, and historical talks. The Watauga Lake Winery is also a great place to learn about and taste the Tennessee wine. Check out this list of the best Vrbo vacation rentals in Butler, Tennessee for a place to stay.
