Friends of Butler have assumed operations of the Butler-Turpin State Historic House, located in General Butler State Resort Park. The home, built in 1859, was first home of Phillip O. Turpin, husband of Mary Eleanor Butler after their cabin was destroyed by fire. The home and summer kitchen stand with period furnishings and other artifacts of the Turpin and Butler families.

Friends of Butler to operate historic home

When the historic Butler-Turpin House opens its doors for the summer season Thursday, it will be operated by a local non-profit group instead of Kentucky State Parks.

Friends of Butler, formed to support and promote the historic home, assumed operations of the Butler-Turpin State Historic House at General Butler State Resort Park May 20.

Friends of Butler’s board of directors approved a contract with the Kentucky Department of Parks during a May 14 meeting, allowing it to operate the home.
