Explore Our Towns Butler The birthplace of the Jeep! History and heritage surround the charming town of Butler, and preserving the past is important here.

In 1940, the U.S. Army sought a design for a 4WD, 40HP, 1,300lb reconnaissance vehicle capable of transporting soldiers and heavy artillery. The challenge was to produce a working prototype for a test run within 49 days. Only two companies responded to the request: The American Bantam Car Company of Butler, PA, and Willys-Overland Motors. American Bantam won the contract based on their delivery of a prototype vehicle in just 45 days. However, the American Bantam struggled to meet the Army's production demand of 75 vehicles per day, and the blueprints and contract went elsewhere. The Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival continues to honor and celebrate Butler as the Birthplace of the Jeep.

Butler County's Parks: A Story of Inclusion and Exploration

Accessible Fishing Pier at Glade Run Lake

Nestled amidst the rolling hills and verdant landscapes of western Pennsylvania, Butler County boasts a treasure trove of parks, each offering a unique blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. These parks, however, aren't just havens for outdoor enthusiasts; they're also designed to accommodate visitors of all abilities, ensuring that everyone can experience the joy of outdoor discovery.

At Moraine State Park, accessibility takes center stage. The park's paved trails, wide enough for wheelchairs and strollers, meander through scenic woodlands and along the shimmering shores of Lake Arthur. Accessible picnic tables provide ample space for families and friends to gather, while accessible restrooms and drinking fountains ensure that everyone's needs are met. If you want to get out on the water, the Preston's Pearl touring boat is handicap accessible and boards at the McDanels Boat Launch. An inclusive dock located on the South Shore features a wide ramp for wheelchair access and a trough system to secure kayaks or canoes. A sliding transfer bench allows users to seamlessly transition into their vessel, while sidebars and rollers facilitate effortless entry into the water.

At Glade Run Lake, an ADA-accessible pier extends into the serene waters, offering visitors with limited mobility the opportunity to enjoy breathtaking lakefront views and engage in fishing. At Jennings Environmental Education Center, an accessible nature trail winds through a vibrant ecosystem, providing opportunities for exploration and learning.

The commitment to accessibility extends beyond the trails and picnic areas. Butler County's parks are equipped with accessible playgrounds, ensuring that children of all abilities can engage in imaginative play. Alameda Park's Purple Playground is a vibrant and inclusive space. This colorful playground features a variety of play structures, swings, slides, and sensory-friendly elements, all within a soft purple hue.

Accessible views at Lake Arthur, Jamie Santillo

Kids Castle Playground, in Cranberry Township's Community Park, features picnic tables, benches, and decorative pathways, all of which are fully handicap accessible and built with expectations of creating a memorable time. Embrace an inclusive playground experience at Out of the Ballpark, nestled within Cranberry Township's Miracle League Ballpark. This all-encompassing playground features a rampaccessible Pirate Ship alongside spinners, rockers, and swing sets.

Through thoughtful design and unwavering dedication, these parks have become inclusive spaces where every individual can embark on a journey of discovery, fostering a sense of belonging and shared appreciation for the beauty of the outdoors.

A Young Adult's Guide to Butler County, PA What I’ve learned about living in Butler County as a young adult is that your twenties are all about you. While living in the area, you must travel around, explore new places, and try new things while you have the time. After all, it is important to find residency in a place that brings out the best in you. As a resident or a visitor to this dynamic county, you are spoiled for choices when it comes to finding your favorite activities.

Whether you’re seeking outdoor escapades, exploring the vibrant arts and cultural scene, or indulging in the local cuisine and nightlife, Butler County has it all. There is no shortage of opportunities to create unforgettable memories. So, dive into my top three favorite activities and attractions that have made my time in my twenties truly remarkable.

Personally, I am a very active person and love to be outdoors. One of my favorite activities to do during some extra free time is mini golf. A little competition never hurts anybody! Mars-Bethel Golf located in Mars has provided me with countless memories of some good-old-fashioned outdoor fun. Not only do they offer mini golf, but there is a large, hilly course of soccer golf! You’re never too old for activities like these and being able to finish the activity with some delicious ice cream is the true cherry on top!

Mars-Bethel Golf

By Jaden Pasquinelli

As the sun goes down, and the nightlife begins, one of my favorite places to hang out with friends is North Park Lounge (NPL). In this one place, there are so many options. NPL has a restaurant full of delicious food with a wonderful sports bar atmosphere. My personal favorite is the Bamboo Bar located right behind the restaurant with a sand Volleyball Court, tabletop Jenga, firepits, and so much more. There is definitely something for everyone at NPL. On the other hand, life can get stressful. With college coming to an end, senior year courses looming, and the job search coming soon, it is important to relax, recharge and destress. One of my favorite activities to help me do so is painting or coloring. With that being said, I enjoy stopping at Steele's Brushes and Ceramics. They provide an array of options to channel your artistic side.

I personally like to paint wood signs or grab a blank canvas and let the creative juices flow.

As I prepare to enter “the real world”, thanks to Butler County, I take with me cherished moments and appreciation for the remarkable experiences that have shaped me into who I am today. Butler County will always hold a special place in my heart and I eagerly look forward to growing with this county. The future is bright for both of us.

Butler County is proud to welcome first responders from all over the world for the 2024 Can-Am Police-Fire Games!

Our area will be safer than ever as we host up to 3,000 first responders and their families for this biennial Olympic-style competition allowing hometown heroes from near and far to embrace their athleticism and showcase the skills they use in their daily line of duty.

With approximately 50 competitions set to take place across Butler County, we are excited to showcase all that our community has to offer while giving emergency and protective service workers an opportunity for physical fitness and camaraderie.

Giving back is in the nature of first responders, and each year, the Can-Am Games host committee chooses a local charity to receive net proceeds from the games.

This year’s recipient is Special Olympics Pennsylvania, an organization providing athletes with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to receive free programming, physical training and competitions throughout the year.

Exciting Date Ideas It’s always fun to plan a date, but sometimes the weather makes it tricky.

Whether it’s a first date or a night out with your significant other, we have some exciting date ideas that are perfect for cold weather.

Enjoy a fun winter activity indoors by heading to a public skate at UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex; enjoy music and lights while ice-skating where the Pittsburgh Penguins practice. Plan ahead to attend a theme night like Star Wars Skate or DJ Skate, or to see the Pens game on the big screen while you skate.

A little friendly competition never fails to entertain. Slip back into the 60s and go bowling at Mars Lanes, complete with manual scorekeeping. For a more modern experience, swing by Family Bowlaway Fun Center, with automated flat screen scoring and glow-in-the-dark bowling equipment.

Enjoy dinner and refreshments, as well

as other games and entertainment at the 11th Frame Bar & Grille, located inside.

For a unique date, try an escape room. You’ll be challenged to work together- and with a team- to follow clues, decode the puzzle and solve a mystery. This is also a great double date idea. Find Butler’s Great Escape and Mystery Mayhem Escapes right here in Butler County.

Have more than ‘just a drink’ with your date by visiting a winery. Sample award-winning wines at Rustic Acres Winery and Winfield Winery; ranging from drys to sweets, you’ll certainly find one that pleases your palate and can purchase to take home and enjoy.

If you’re looking for great Italian food to pair with your wine, visit Anna Marie’s Winery & Cafe. Sample from a variety of handcrafted wines bottled on site and enjoy a one-of-a-kind dining experience.

As fun as dinner is on its own, if you’re looking for a unique atmosphere,

Car Cruises: Big Butler Drivers!

By Jeff Martinelli

Cruise-a-Palooza

82 // 2024 BUTLER COUNTY OFFICIAL VISITORS GUIDE

Want evidence? That’s simple.

Last June thousands of Jeep enthusiasts flocked from around the country to Slippery Rock’s Cooper’s Lake for the 13th Annual Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival.

While that event is certainly huge, it truly is the tip of the iceberg for Butler County fanatics of four-wheel fun.

Maybe you had the chance to visit Westminster Presbyterian Church in July to catch some classic station wagons that participated in the car show as part of the International Station Wagon Club’s annual conference which was held here.

Last year, a Butler County hotel hosted hundreds of members of the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) and Team Shelby for its 48th National Convention during the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix’s Historics events. And while we initially view the Vintage Grand Prix as a Pittsburgh event, PittsburghButler Regional Airport again hosted the organization’s “Passport to Elegance” gala.

The airport, of course, was the site of Penn Township Volunteer Fire Department’s “Mega Cruise,” which featured more than 1,000 vehicles.

Then there’s The Rodfathers of Butler, a local organization that holds multiple events to promote the good times, music, and vehicles from the 50's and 60's eras including Cruise-a-Palooza each June. The 2023 edition had 1,600 vehicles gathered on Main Street in Butler!

We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the members of the Butler Old Stone House Region of Antique Automobile Club of America. This small group of auto enthusiasts maintain some of Butler County’s most historic vehicles and, many times display them (and their personal vehicles) at shows and parades throughout the region.

THINGS TO DO

As the Birthplace of the Jeep, Butler County’s automotive history is well documented. And while cars and trucks are no longer built here, the love we have for automobiles is still in overdrive!

It seems that once spring arrives you can find a car cruise every weekend in Butler County. That’s great news. Car cruises – and related events like the Big Butler Parts-a-Rama – bring lots of visitors to the area and often raise lots of money for charities. Additionally, they help drive the local economy as participants and viewers stop at local restaurants and eateries, and often stay overnight.

We thank all those who take the time to organize events like these and we greatly appreciate their effort and dedication. If you would like to catch an upcoming car cruise, check out our events calendar or look at this handy list from The Rodfathers.

BUTLER-FREEPORT COMMUNITY TRAIL

Butler County’s only Rails-to-Trails trail

Butler-Freeport Community Trail ButlerFreeportTrail.org

The Butler-Freeport Community Trail is a rail-trail, preserving the route of Butler County’s first railroad (1871), the Western Pennsylvania Railroad, which connected the City of Butler to the Allegheny River port of Freeport. As a rails-to-trails project, the 21-mile trail offers a level, natural crushed limestone surface with a gradual uphill grade as it travels north (barely noticeable to walkers) and the converse downhill grade as it travels south (greatly enjoyed by bicyclists). Dogs are welcome but required to be on a leash and under the control of the person walking them on the trail.
