There are a variety of historic sites within this city, which was settled in the early 1800s. To see an example of the Victorian gothic architecture from the late 19th century, take a trip to the Butler County Courthouse in the city’s downtown. The three-story brick and sandstone building was constructed in 1885 and it features a four-faced clock tower. For more historical sightseeing downtown, visit the Senator Walter Lowrie Shaw House.
