The Iron Butterfly Trail
The Iron Butterfly Trail was created in direct response to this question, "What will our "bulldog" be?" While it may seem silly worded that way, we understood the community very much wanted an icon to represent who we are. After much research we landed with the Iron Butterfly. It takes us from our mining history to our colorful and creative present. These butterflies are built and prepped locally at Steel Materials and each is hand painted by an artist. Local organizations sponsor a butterfly with a one time tax deductible donation which covers the entire process from idea to install for the butterfly and the signage.
Each year, the Cartersville-Bartow Chamber of Commerce hosts a class of local leaders in a process called Leadership Bartow. Within the 2021-22 class, a small group took on the project of reinvigorating the trail systems in Cartersville and Bartow County through the arts. The Iron Butterfly Trails unifies the trail systems and offers opportunities for local entities to get involved through direct sponsorship of large, artistic, metal butterflies placed in various prime locations.
