Gen. Wm. O. Butler ran for US Vice President in 1848, is the man who built the Butler home at 713 Highland Avenue, and is the man for whom the state park is named. Maj. Thomas L. Butler, along with his daughter Mary Ellen and his son-in-law Turpin built the house on the Lock Road side of Butler Park. It was built about the time Mary Ellen died, so mostly it was lived in by the Major, his son-in-law, and the Turpin children.
