Butler is an unincorporated community in Johnson County in the northeastern corner of the U.S. state of Tennessee. It is located along the northern shore of Watauga Lake. Butler is served by a post office, assigned ZIP Code 37640.
The town was originally located on Roan Creek at its confluence with the Watauga River. Settlement began in 1768. For many years the community was called Smith's Mill for the gristmill that Ezekial “Zeke” Smith built on the bank of Roan Creek in 1820. After the Civil War, it was renamed in honor of Colonel Roderick R. Butler of Johnson County, who then represented the area in the state legislature and had been a commander in the 13th Tennessee Cavalry in the Union Army.
Aenon Seminary, a secondary school, was established in Butler in 1871. It later became Holly Spring College, offering education up to a bachelor's degree, and enrolling as many as 200 students. In 1906 it was purchased by the Watauga Baptist Association, which renamed it Watauga Academy. It operated under that name until 1948, when the town was inundated by the formation of Watauga Lake.
Butler was the birthplace of U.S. Congressmen B. Carroll Reece of Tennessee and Robert R. Butler of Oregon (grandson of the town's namesake).
The original town of Butler was subject to frequent flooding, experiencing major floods in 1867, 1886, 1901, 1902, 1916, 1924, and 1940. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) began the construction of the Watauga Dam in 1942 which created the Watauga Lake. The construction was delayed because of the ongoing World War II, but was finished in 1948 when the water steadily began rising and the town slowly became submerged under the lake. Butler was the only incorporated town inundated by a TVA reservoir. In 1948, before the reservoir was filled, the town, which at the time had a population of about 600 and included more than 125 homes and 50 businesses, was relocated to higher ground. The relocation project required construction of 54.9 miles (88.4 km) of roads and highways, three bridges, and 66 miles (106 km) of utility lines, as well as relocation of 1,281 graves. The town's new site is located on Tennessee State Route 67.
The original town is now known as "Old Butler." Old Butler, called “the town that wouldn’t drown,” is commemorated in a museum in Butler and by "Old Butler Days" which is an annual festival held each year in August right in the heart of the town. In 1983, a drawdown of the lake exposed the remains of Old Butler for a brief time, allowing former residents to visit the site.

About a week ago I recieved an email from Paula (the wonderful grafic artist from Butler County Tourism). She had one of the greatest idea's to do a set of photo's from a child's point of view. This particular time she asked if Nathen could be the "child". It did not involve to much; going to the farm show and allowing Nathen to take pictures, then sending those pictures on to her... Being that Nathen has a habit of taking more pictures than I do where ever we go, I figured it would be fun to take on this little assignment. We recieved our free farm show tickets in the mail a few days ago, and decided to go on Monday (being today), since I did not have to work. Nathen would not allow me to take any pictures of my own (which only reminded me that i need to get a new point and shoot for mylsef). I however fought a battle in order to get a picture of this scrap of paper, Nathen being the wonderful creative being that he is placed himself perfectly. The end result of two creative minds has become this picture. :o)
I will try to post some of Nathen's portraits on his site if Paula allows ..... If not be looking for them in upcoming publications.

Yesterday, my buds Nathaniel came over and brought his adorable little Sebastian and Yoko Nendoroids with him! I busted out with my L Nendoroid, and then we had a party (much the the dismay and discomfort of the poor Nendoroids). But hey, no hard feelings. And we all had a blast!!! :D
