Butler

Butler is located along the shores of gorgeous Watauga Lake, high above the Appalachian Mountains near the Carter and Johnson county line. Farms and luxury homes can be found throughout Butler, which has a fascinating hidden history. Back in 1948, the Tennessee Valley Authority filled Watauga Lake, inundating old Butler, which is now located under the reservoir. The town moved to higher ground, where it's located today along Tennessee State Route 67.
