City of Butler Georgia

City of Butler Georgia This is the creation of the City of Butler Georgia's page. We will be experimenting with news and information for the citizens of our town.

Please be patient with us in this new adventure. Welcome citizens! Butler is the county seat for Taylor County. The Taylor County Courthouse was built in 1935 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Courthouse’s bell tower was restored in 1995. The Country Side Festival is held annually in the heart of downtown Butler. The festival includes arts and crafts, live entertainment, a parade, and other activities for the entire family.
