Butterfield is unique because of the initiative and motivation behind its inception. First United Presbyterian Church of Fayetteville members, Stephen and Margaret Stephan, founded a long-range planning committee that eventually lead to the first conception of the Village in 1977. The committee realized broad-based community involvement would be required for a successful project, and in January 1981 the group requested support from citizens with an expressed interest. Eighty-five donations of $2,500 each provided the first movement toward incorporation. Following First United Presbyterian Church of Fayetteville’s lead, four other churches also agreed to serve as non-financial sponsors. Construction of the first campus buildings began in 1984. Please join staff and residents as they share personal historical accounts and hopes for the future – as we celebrate the 38th anniversary of Butterfield Trail Village retirement community!
