Its an exciting time to live in and visit Butler County. This
year will kick off with three new county commissioners: Leslie
Osche, Kim Geyer and Kevin Boozel. We look forward to working
together to create positive change in the community. A major
project is the Kaufman House, scheduled to reopen in the first
quarter of 2017, which will stimulate the economy, create jobs, and
prepare future generations of hospitality employees with its
restoration as a restaurant, boutique hotel and training
facility.
We continue to work hard to bring new events to the area, such
as PyroFest and Shadracks Christmas Wonderland, and are pleased to
welcome sports teams of all types, including the Pittsburgh
Penguins themselves!
It is my sincere hope you enjoy our 2016 guide and are inspired
to explore Butler Countys delightful and diverse destinations. From
rustic country roads to the bustling Cranberry Township, theres a
little something for everyone. Stay for the night, a weekend, or
even a whole week. You deserve a getaway!

Theres no place like Butler County for the holidays!The worlds
largest drive-through, fully synchronized, LED Christmas light and
music show, Shadracks Christmas Wonderland, is returning to the Big
Butler Fairgrounds in November 2016!
Hop in the car with your family, tune in your radio and watch
the hundreds of thousands of dancing lights come alive perfectly
synchronized to the music in your vehicle. Its like a front row

of huge, themed displays and at the end of the over two-mile long
route, the fun continues at Santas Village. The kids can look
forward to having a photo taken with Santa, enjoying seasonal
refreshments and more.
Shadracks Christmas Wonderland originated in Bristol, Tennessee
and has garnered national media attention and awards for the
elaborate choreography of the show. They hosted their first light
show in 2007 and have improved each year by integrating new
technology, music, custom-built animated elements and 100%
environmentally-friendly LED lights. Shadracks Christmas Wonderland
debuted in Butler County in 2015, and we are lucky to be one of
only a handful of locations across the country that hosts this
fabulous attraction.

Christmas Wonderland to celebrate the holidays! The light show will

Butler has a rich history shaped by immigrants and industries.
The city is the county seat and was named for General Richard
Butler, a Revolutionary War military leader. A mix of history, arts
and community events make the city of Butler charming.
Since its founding in 1800, there have been two major
immigration waves. Early settlers were German, Scots-Irish and
English seeking peace, religious freedom and land. In 1887, Butler
emerged in the global flat glass industry bringing in workers from
Belgium, France, Germany and England. The next industry to boom in
Butler was the manufacturing of the first ever, all-steel railcars
by the Standard Steel Car Company, founded by John Hansen and
Diamond Jim Brady. Many eastern Europeans came to work in Butler
during this second wave to build a brighter future for their
families.
Butlers community grew up around Standard Steel Car (SSC), which
became one of the largest builders of steel cars in the U.S. The
imprint it had was seen in the many domed churches of
Lyndora, and the company housing that lined Hansen Avenue. In
1930, SSC merged with Pullman Co. to create the great
Pullman-Standard that employed thousands of Butler residents until
its closing in 1982. The community remains enriched by the culture
and heritage of the immigrants once employed by these
industries.
Butler also has an interesting automotive history and is known
round the world as the birthplace of the Jeep. Six automobiles got
their start in Butler: the Huselton, Standard, Russell Sherman,
American Austin, American Bantam and the Bantam BRC, or Jeep. In
1940, the US Army asked 135 tractor and auto manufacturers to
design a four-wheel drive, 40 horsepower, 1,200 pound
reconnaissance car that could haul soldiers as well as heavy
artillery. The challenge? The designer was expected to have a
working prototype available for a test run within 49 days. Only two
companies responded to the request, The American Bantam Car Company
and
Willys-Overland Motors of Toledo, Ohio. Bantam won the contract
and
thats where the Jeep began.
Kelly Automotive Park (formerly Pullman Park), built in 1934,
was used for minor league baseball for 20 years until the
Pittsburgh Pirates farm team left in 1951. The ballpark saw many
famous faces during its professional baseball days, including Lou
Gehrig, Whitey Ford and Joe DiMaggio, who played for a farm team of
the New York Yankees. Rebuilt in 2008, the stadium is currently the
home of the Butler BlueSox, part of the Prospect League.
Butler has a fascinating history of celebrities as well. People
born and/or raised in Butler include rocker Bret Michaels, numerous
professional athletes, Tony-award winning actress Michele Pawk,
politicians and even a former Miss USA.
Today, downtown Butler is undergoing a renaissance with a new
Marriott Springhill Suites and a 230-space parking garage on the
way. Several microbreweries are also open or coming soon. Come
shop, dine, explore a museum or gallery, and attend a show to see
for yourself why Butler is one of the very best small towns!
Butler.Destination
Congratulations are in order for two 75 year anniversaries!
Butler Little Theatre has been bringing quality shows to the
town for 75 seasons now. With a typical five-show season, thats a
lot of entertainment! Check out our calendar for upcoming shows and

In addition, Butler Motor Transit is proud to be celebrating 75

Transforming Our County Seat One Wall at a TimeWhen you hear the
word Walldogs, what comes to mind? Most likely, it is not a group
of sign painters and mural artists. But thats what they are!
Walldogs come from all around the world and bring their amazing
skills to cities to paint walls with images of historical
significance to that town. Each wall is a representation of people,
places and industries. Walldogs take time away from their
businesses to spend four or five days each year transforming a
community with murals and old-fashioned wall advertisements!
Jill Welsh, a local Walldog, and the Butler County Historical
Society worked together to bring this outstanding group of artists
to come to Butler this summer. They will be transforming walls
throughout town from July 27th to 31st featuring the following
subjects, most pertaining to Butlers history.
Pioneer Cabin and Early Schoolhouse
The Birthplace of the Jeep
Butlers Steel Industry
Uncle Billy Smith
General Richard Butler
Railcars/Pullman Standard
Horse-drawn Mail Delivery
50s Diners/Drive-ins
Breweries
After the fact, these murals will be integrated into a walking
tour and tourist attraction.

{ }INSIDER TIP: Saxonburg has some lovely bed and breakfasts.
For a relaxing getaway off the beaten
path, check out our comparison chart on page 32 to see which
B&B suits you best.
Despite its small size, Saxonburg is big on charm
and is currently experiencing a rebirth. The community hosts
several events and festivals, including new Main Street
Mingles. If your visit to Butler County doesnt coincide with
one of the towns special events, youre always welcome
to relax on a bench or stroll along the sidewalk while
admiring the preservation of days gone by.
Saxonburg, named for the German state of Saxony, began as a
vision for a wholesome town offering a new life for German
settlers. With distinctive architecture modeled after a German
hamlet, it still retains much of its original character. In fact,
Main Street was named to the National Register of Historic Places
and 32 of the towns buildings are more than 100 years old! It was
also designed so that the highest point of the town was the
Saxonburg Memorial Presbyterian Church, which still stands as such
today.
What do Saxonburg and the Big Apple have in common? John
Roebling, one of the towns founders, left his mark in both places.
He was the inventor of the wire cable used on the Brooklyn Bridge
as well as the designer of it, so while you meander through
Roebling Park, take notice of the sizeable reminder of his impact
on the town: a replica Brooklyn Bridge.
Today, Main Street is lined with shops and businesses that share
the same passion for preserving the towns history.You dont have to
go far to sip a cup of coffee, enjoy a delicious meal, purchase
fresh baked goods, or shop for unique items in historic
buildings.
Taking the old, transforming it into something new and still
preserving the old world charm is a skill Saxonburg has perfected.
With visual improvements to the streetscape and storefronts, and
new businesses popping up throughout Downtown Saxonburg, Roebling
would, without a doubt, be proud of his towns rebirth.

celibacy to remain spiritually pure, but also ensured the groups
eventual demise. Father George Rapp, a founder of the town,
frequently looked down on his people from Rapps Seat. It can still
be accessed today from Evergreen Mill Road and offers outstanding
views, especially during autumn.
After two hundred years, the society lives on through the
historic architecture, landmarks, cemeteries and events that
celebrate its heritage. More than 50 buildings have been preserved,
nine of which are operated by Harmony Museum for guests to visit.
Another belief of the Harmonists can be seen in their cemetery
located just outside townyou wont
find any grave markers for the approximately 100 society members
buried there. Try your luck opening the cemeterys one-ton stone
gate that revolves evenly on its center. Youll find its easier than
it sounds!
Today, you can stroll through Weihnachmarkt (German Christmas
Market) and ring in the New Year during Silvester, on German time
(6 p.m.) in remembrance of the founders heritage. An afternoon can
be spent perusing art, antiques and shops. Other highlights include
great coffee, and dining at the historical inn, which is said to be
haunted. Youll quickly discover that spending time in Harmony is
simply harmonious.
{ }In fall of 2015, Hollywood recognized Harmony for its
historic charm. Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Connelly and Dakota Fanning
were in town
to film American Pastoral, based on the novel by Phillip Roth.
The film created quite a buzz here and is set to be released
sometime this year.

Evans City.When the land that became Evans City was settled in
the 1800s, the residents would probably have never guessed that it
would later gain notoriety from zombiesnor did they even know what
zombies were!
With hit shows like The Walking Dead, we sure do today. What
zombie fans today may not know is that the craze started in Evans
City, filming location for the 1968 cult classic Night of the
Living Dead. Director George Romero returned to the town again in
1973 to film The Crazies, a film in which the town was blown
up!
Today Evans City proudly honors its past with wooden zombie
silhouettes, and its nickname, City of Black Gold, referring to a
1915 oil boom. During October 2015 festivities, a large historical
marker and plaques (shown to the right) were placed in town linking
Evans City to its film history.
This tiny town is a main throughway between Butler and the
western part of the county as its Main Street is Route 68. Despite
its size, the town has several festivals, specialty shops,
restaurants, a community park and a museum. Its definitely worth a
stop and not just a drive-through.

Called a modern place with old-
fashioned grace, Zelienople brings
on the charm with its friendly small-
town atmosphere. If you take a walk
to admire the gorgeous homes,
youll surely encounter at least one other person
to offer a warm hello. A stroll
down Main Street offers opportunity
for shopping, dining and quirky
adventures.
{ }INSIDER TIP: While in Zelie, be sure to drop by our
office/visitors center to say hi and pick up some free visitors
information. Were located at
310 E. Grandview Avenue (Route 68) and open Monday through
Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wed love to meet you!
With a name like Zelienople, you might wonder what the first
residents were thinking! The town was named for the founders
daughter, Zelie, and nople is the Greek word for town. Learn more
about this history at the historical societys Buhl and Passavant
House museums. You can even see framed artwork made of real human
hair! Another piece of fun is the lion water fountain in the towns
four corners (intersection of Main Street and Grandview Avenue). If
you want a drink, you have to stick your head in his mouth!
On Friday nights, The Strand Theater shows movies for only $5;
some classics, some current flicks. This restored theater dates
back to 1914 and was, at one point, used for vaudeville! In
addition to movies, you can catch top-notch live entertainment,
including Broadway performers and more.
You can find additional entertainment year-round with frequent
holiday parades, and special programming by the Community Park
Association. This group currently has an initiative for a new pool
and the plans look spectacular! Between this and other
enhancements, the town is becoming even lovelier as it ages.

Cranberry Township.
The Comeback Kings & Queens of Butler CountyReclaimed.
Repurposed. Re-loved.
Who doesnt love a good comeback? Here in Butler County, that
doesnt just apply to mankind. We have some brave, creative souls
who invest their time, skills and money into old broken down
furniture and items people dont want anymore, bringing them back to
life. Jeff of All About Reclaimed has
been telling people for thirty years, theres nothing he cant
recycleand he finally found a way to make a living doing it. One of
the most popular items he sells are light fixtures and lampsmade
from things like gas cans, vintage funnels, or even old hats. A
favorite piece of Jeffs was a light made from a vintage minnow
cage. Sometimes it can be hard for him to part with things he has
created, which just goes to show the love that is put into
upcycling.
Another comeback queen is Sue of Whimsy Antiques who upgrades
old furniture, making it appeal to a younger generation. She
recalled one particularly interesting piecea 1940s secretary desk
which she painted a striking robins egg blue and embellished with
old nautical maps. Another clever creation of Sues is luggage racks
turned into collapsible tables.
If youre lucky, you can snag upcycled
treasures in some of Butler Countys other secondhand shops like
Cranberry Consignment Gallery or Wagon Wheel Antiques. A new resale
shop in Zelienople, The Perfect Piece Home Furnishings, routinely
features local artists who create furniture out of used pallets,
memo boards out of old doors and crown molding, and tables made of
industrial items.
Next time you see a shabby old dresser on the curb, think not of
its sad and lonely state, but of the gem it could be if given the
right TLC! Leave it to our experts to save space in the landfill
and create one-of-a-kind pieces youll fall in love with.
If you love old treasures, check out the new Antiques Preferred
in Evans City, or look at page 38 in this guide for a full
directory of antique and secondhand shops. Explore the wonders of
the past and give your favorites a new home.
{ }Did you know? George Washington was here! He passed through
in
1753 on a mission attempting to avert a war with the French. A
historical marker stands at the intersection of Franklin Road and
Route 228, and
you can follow Washingtons Trail which commemorates his mission
with a driving tour. A free brochure is available on our
website.
If bright lights, shops and restaurants sound exciting, then
Cranberry Township is the place for you.
Butler Countys most bustling town, Cranberry, is our gateway to
Pittsburgh, located just 20 minutes north of the city via I-79. It
is also a stop along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, providing easy
access from Ohio and eastern PA.
Although the township is more than 200 years old, it has grown
immenselymore than doublesince the 90s. More than 30,000 people
call Cranberry home, and for good reason, as the quality of life is
excellent. From community parks, quality programming, a top-notch
golf course, and endless things to do, Cranberry Township is a real
win for residents and visitors alike. Retired Pittsburgh Steeler
Hines Ward recently saw something in Cranberry and chose it as the
location for his new restaurant, Table 86.
Cranberry has also been recognized as a great place to raise a
family. The township even has a diversity network, encouraging and
welcoming residents of all backgrounds.
See for yourself why Cranberry Township was just named the #8
Most Comfortable City by Expedia. Choose one of nearly a dozen
hotels and spend the night close to Pittsburgh, without having to

Mars.Yes, there really is life on Mars, and residents take full
advantage of the fun opportunities their towns name creates.
A flying saucer is parked in the town square, offering an
unusual photo opportunity for visitors. Alien sightings occur daily
in storefront windows. Letters with a Mars, PA postmark are
frequently mailed around the world from the local post office.
In June 2015, Mars went all out, creating a new annual event to
celebrate the planet Mars New Year. The second event wont take
place until May 2017 since it takes Mars almost twice as long as
Earth to orbit the sun. The event is definitely worth noting
though, with involvement from NASA and a focus on STEAM (science,
technology, engineering, arts and mathematics).
The town of Mars dates back to 1792 when the first settler
arrived in the area. Mars flourished in its early years because it
was located on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and on the Butler
Short Line, the electric trolley route that linked Pittsburgh and
Butler. Today, the historical society operates a museum, including
a restored caboose, and a scaled-down version of the Mars Shortline
Railroad which you can ride for a donation.

Diverse BeginningsThe entrepreneurial spirit of our campground
owners comes from many diverse backgrounds. Robert Wehr of Bear Run
Campground was an international engineer before deciding to bring
families close to nature in his campground near Lake Arthurs
shoreline, bordering Moraine State Park, and near the North Country
Trail and Jennings Environmental Education Center. Developing a
campground from the ground up gave Robert an opportunity to combine
his abilities to design, build, maintain and improve a project on
an ongoing basis. The campground that Robert started from scratch
in 1975 has since become a top-rated destination and is still run
by the Wehr family.
The route that Ed Tanski of Buttercup Woodlands Campground took
to open
his facility is quite different. Tanski is a Navy veteran
from
Vietnam. After returning home and operating many other
businesses, he and his wife were
approached by the owner of Buttercup Woodlands. As
avid seasonal campers, this opportunity
sounded very appealing and in
1997, the Tanskis purchased the campground. In the last 18
years, the campground has acquired four
or five stars in all of the categories
scored by Woodalls campground grading
system. Todays campers can enjoy theme weekends,
a pool, and a recreation hall that frequently offers bands or DJ
entertainment.
Yogi Bears Jellystone Park at Kozy Rest Kampground is ranked in
the top 1% nationwide through dedication from the Quigley family.
As a child, Denny Quigley was immersed in the hospitality business
since his father owned a hotel. After 20 years in the auto parts
industry, he decided it was time for a change. The campground has
since been recognized nationally as Park of the Year (2011, 2014
and 2015) as well as Entrepreneur and Facility of the Year within
the Yogi Bear campground system. Highlights include a camp store,
brand new playground featuring a jump pillow, yurts, new cabin
units and a family-friendly, customer-comes-first atmosphere.
One-of-a-Kind Experiences
Look no further than Coopers Lake Campground in Slippery Rock if
you want to stay in the heart of the action. Coopers offers camping
during special events they host. On many weekends throughout the
summer, you will find a wide range of annual events being hosted
including PyroFest, the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival and Tough
Mudder.
Try something new at Whispering Pines Farm in Cabot where the
rural nature of camping is paired with a few luxury accommodations
to make you feel relaxed and rejuvenated. The result is
glampingwhere you get the best of both worlds! A queen size bed and
continental breakfast complete the experience.
Charming, remote, historic yet close to local attractions? That
is what youll find at Indian Brave Campground in Harmony. Its
wooded campsites were once inhabited by the Native Americans many
years ago. Enjoy an Olympic-size pool, entertainment and more,
including a walking bridge built over the Connoquenessing Creek to
access Historic Harmonys shops and eateries.
If youre really looking for a weekend away from it all, Peaceful
Valley Campground in West Sunbury is waiting! This KOA (Kampgrounds
of America) campground offers horseback riding and is just a short
drive away from state game lands and a fishing lake!
Near Moraine State Park
Hillside huts and primitive campsites will make you one with
nature at Breakneck Campground in Portersville. Open year-round
(with the exception of September and October when it transforms
into Cheesemans Fright Farm), its the perfect spot for campers,
hikers, kayakers and outdoor lovers. Under new ownership, Lake
Arthur Family Campground borders Moraine State Park. The 58 acres
of campground offer both wooded and open sites with nearby access
to Moraines Route 528 boat launch.
You can also camp in Moraine State Parks 11 modern cabinsbut

Slippery Rock.Destination
Think Slippery Rock is an odd name for a town? How about
Wechachochapohka, which is the Seneca word for the town? The names
may be strange, but this quaint college town is big on charm.
Slippery Rock is vibrant with college studentsmany seeking to
become teachers, physical therapists and recreation
professionals.
Tiny Towns. Rural Roads. Hidden Treasures.
With its convenient location along the Slippery Rock Creek and
proximity to Moraine State Park, Jennings Environmental Education
Center and the North Country Trail, Slippery Rock is a magnet for
outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, kayaking and geocaching are some
popular activities, along with disc golf. There is a new disc golf
course right on the universitys campus which was just used as part
of a world championship!
During the school year, SRU offers a top-notch performing arts
series, as well as student performances, art galleries and sporting
events. Taking a stroll down Main Street can also be quite
delightful, with murals, sculptures, shaded seating, and
one-of-a-kind small businesses. A volunteer organization called
Slippery Rock in Bloom enhances the community, not only through
beautification, but heritage preservation as well. In recent years,
the town has really blossomed (pun intended)!

As visitors to Butler County,
you quickly become
familiar with our towns
due to their proximity
to major highways and
interstates, but dont miss out on the scenic
back roads and farms that are
nestled among them!
Prospect has a lot to offer in terms of beautiful farm-filled
landscapes and hills. Route 528 passes through Prospect and if you
follow it north, youll find yourself in Slippery Rock. The winding
road takes you through our state parks whose wholesome scenery can
be admired no matter what season! Just north of Moraine State Park,
you can find the Jacksville or Miller Esker, which is a serpentine
deposit left by glaciers 23,000 years ago.
On the western side of the parks are West Liberty and West Park
Roads. While these roads are not far apart, youll be met with polar
opposite surround-ings. West Liberty will lead you through acres of
vast fields while West Park gives you tree-lined views.
In nearby Portersville, you can experience agritourism at
Cheeseman Farm. Farms throughout the county have created
visitor-friendly festivals and events that give you a
behind-the-scenes look at where your food comes frommuch of it from
the countys rolling farmland! Harvest Valley Farms, Metricks
Harvest View Farm and Freedom Farms are other great agritourism
stops!
In northern Butler County, Halston Road takes you to West
Sunbury and features outstanding views of changing leaves in
autumn. Here you can stop by Zanella Milling, the last producer of
buckwheat flour in the county. Branchton Road will eventually lead
you
to the rural area of State Game Lands #95 and one of our
favorite hidden treasures, The Glass Blowing Center. To the
northwest is Harrisville, which is less than one square mile!
If you enter the county from the east on Route 68, youll get the
trifecta of farmlands, delightful hills and open spaces as you
approach Chicora. There, Old Point Alpaca Park offers another
change of scenery with its pasture, wooded pond and herd of
alpacas, of course! If youre up for visiting with more fuzzy
creatures, there are five total alpaca farms sprinkled throughout
the county.

What makes Moraine State Park so great? Beautiful scenery in
every
season, tons of outdoor
activities, rich history and
thats just the tip of the iceberg.
Or in Moraines case, should we
say glacier?!
Moraine State Park gets its namesake from an event that happened
tens of thousands of years ago. A moraine refers to the accumulated
debris a retreating glacier has left behind. The next chapter in
Moraines history involved deep-mining, strip-mining, drilling and
pollution. Luckily, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy saw a
different future for the land. Gas and oil wells were plugged,
mines were sealed, thousands of trees were planted, and Muddy Creek
was dammed to create the lake. Thank goodness for this renaissance.
Today Moraine is one of Pennsylvanias top parks, and you can enjoy
a plethora of activities (land, air and sea!) each season
throughout the parks 16,725 acres.
Sea: Summertime is when Moraine State Park really shines with
endless lake activities. The 3,225-acre Lake Arthur features ten
boat launches sprinkled throughout the park, and the Crescent Bay
Marine and Boat Rental can provide kayaks, paddleboats, canoes,
sailboats, pontoon boats and small motorboats. Set sail for a
gorgeous day on the lake swimming, windsurfing, fishing or stand up
paddleboarding!
Want to learn to Stand Up Paddleboard? SurfSUP Adventures can
help! Take lessons and eco-tours at the park and youll be gliding
over the beautiful waterways in no time!
Take in the beautiful scenery and watch the seasons change on
the Nautical Nature, Moraine Preservation Funds 45-passenger
enclosed pontoon boat. It operates on a regular schedule spring
through fall, providing public tours and chartered cruises.
Land: Name your favorite outdoor activity. Chances are, Moraine
State Park has you covered. The parks six-mile mountain biking
trail was named one of the most technical mountain bike trails in
the world! You can also ride on a paved seven-mile bicycle trail,
hike Moraines 28.6 miles of trails, and go geocaching. 13,600 acres
of the park are open to hunting, trapping and dog training.
You can even enjoy Moraine on a chilly winter day! If you

to be visiting during the winter, theres still plenty to do
including cross-country skiing, sledding,

An Insiders Look at Moraine State ParkBy: Teri Whelan
My personal experience with Moraine State Park started the
summer of 1987 as a dockworker at Davis Hollow Marina. Ive spent
nearly 30 years enjoying the park and have found some amazing ways
to maximize quality time at the park.
For those who enjoy Biking, try starting at the end of the bike
trail at the Moraine Outdoor Center. The trail is more level and
shaded than starting at the trailhead. Bring along snacks for a
break at one of the tree-covered picnic tables at Watts Bay Marina.
When the winds are right, sit and watch the sailors on their
colorful sailboats. Many times, the sailing club will be holding
races, and youll really be in for a visual treat.
If Hiking and Picnicking are on your agenda, the Sunken Garden
Trail is an easy trail not far from the entrance of the South
Shore. It offers many spots for beautiful views of the lake. For a
private picnic, drive past the beach to the Crestline Picnic Area
entrance on your left. There are lots of tables at the John M.
Eisler Picnic Grove. You wont notice the view from the parking lot,
but trust me, it is one of the best spots in the park!
There are many options for Boating at Moraine. For non-motorized
boat owners, consider launching at Pleasant Valley on the South
Shore. The cove is non-motorized, and you can stay there or venture
out into Big Run and enjoy quiet Beaver Cove. The North Shore has a
wonderful launch at the McDanels Area. For a truly peaceful
experience, paddle in the cove past the cabins. A less populated
area of the lake that also offers quick access to the Muddy Creek
area can be found at the 528 Launch.
Interested in Fishing but dont own the equipment? Stop by the
park office with just a photo ID and for the day, free of charge,
you can borrow equipmentfishing poles in various sizes, tackle
boxes with fake bait, hooks, and bobbers.
Hopefully my tips help you make the most of your time at
Moraine. It truly is the gem of Butler County!

Immerse yourself in Preston Park, an 88-acre English garden in
Butler Township. Dr. Frank Preston, an ecologist, glass scientist
and ornithologist, believed in conservation of nature. He created
an estate to live, work and enjoy the natural surroundings complete
with a lily pond, two pedestrian bridges, an arboretum of 40
different species of pine trees, and 50 acres of forest. Preston
and his wife deeded the estate to the township, so after his death
it was renamed Preston Park in his honor.
Today, visitors can admire the unique vegetation and fields of
well-maintained prairie grass, tree-shaded
picnic areas, an abundance of wildlife, and gently sloped,
well-marked trails.
The park is recognized by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum
Commission and the National Park Service for its historical
significance and is now listed in the National Register of Historic
Places. In 2016, they are planning guided tours of the property.
Tours like these are definitely something to watch out for because
there is so much history in the park that you would never know
about at first glance! One such feature is the compass rose that
points out the distance to faraway places like London and the North
Pole.
Get Fit! Taking a hike, kayaking, or swimming is good for you!
An average person can burn over 250 calories by simply enjoying an
outdoor activity!
Put this on your Bucket List! Hike part of the rugged and
peaceful 4,600 miles of the North Country Trail. Stretching across
seven states, it is the longest National Scenic Trail in the US.
Created by Congress in 1980, it now passes through 12 national
forests plus our very own Moraine State Park and Jennings
Environmental Education Center! Even if you arent adventurous
enough to complete it all, start by enjoying the picturesque
stretch that can be enjoyed right here in Butler County!
