NEW! BTV Ale Trail: Bentonville Brewing Co.

37th Anniversary

One thing that makes our Village unique is the initiative and motivation behind its inception and development. Butterfield was conceived as an expression of church ministry by the First United Presbyterian Church of Fayetteville in 1977. The founders of a Long-Range Planning Committee began with Stephen and Margaret Stephan of First United Presbyterian Church, and the first document suggesting such a community is dated 1969. The committee realized broad-based community involvement and support were needed if the project was to be successful. In January 1981, the committee requested the support of citizens who had expressed an interest. Eighty-five citizens donated $2,500 each, becoming known as the Original Pioneers. This group provided the first movement of Butterfield Trail Village, followed by five local churches agreeing to serve as nonfinancial sponsors. The churches include First United Presbyterian, Central United Methodist, First Christian, St. Paul’s Episcopal, and First Baptist of Fayetteville. Please celebrate with us and enjoy a concert featuring live classic tunes of the 60s, 70s and 80s by the fun and talented local band Flashback. Anniversary cake will be served!

Get ready to add a growing number of craft beer microbreweries to your list of fun places to visit in Northwest Arkansas! Our new BTV Ale Trail series will investigate several hoppy stops beginning with Bentonville Brewing Company, established in 2015. Other destinations will include breweries in Springdale, Rogers, Fayetteville and Eureka Springs. BTV Ale Trail punch cards will be issued to guests for brewery stops – with a chance to win dinner for four.
