Butler County Veterans Highway is signed as State Route 129 and is a limited access highway from Hamilton to its terminus at Interstate 75. The highway was conceived in the early 1970s as a link to Interstate 75 from Hamilton. At the time, Hamilton was the second largest city in the US without a direct connection to an Interstate. The highway has had three names. The original name was the Butler County Regional Highway. Shortly after the highway was built, the highway was renamed the Michael A. Fox Highway. In 2004 the highway was renamed to the Butler County Veterans Highway.

“Even the wisest man grows tense
With some sort of violence
Before he can accomplish fate,
Know his work or choose his mate.
Poet and sculptor, do the work,
Nor let the modish painter shirk”

“I know this well, that if one thousand, if one hundred, if ten men whom I could name,—if ten honest men only,—ay, if one HONEST man, in this State of Massachusetts, ceasing to hold slaves, were actually to withdraw from this copartnership, and be locked up in the county jail therefor, it would be the abolition of slavery in America. For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be: what is once well done is done forever.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“My gentleman gives the law where he is; he will outpray saints in chapel, outgeneral veterans in the field, and outshine all courtesy in the hall. He is good company for pirates, and good with academicians; so that it is useless to fortify yourself against him; he has the private entrance to all minds, and I could as easily exclude myself, as him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“My manner is the footnote to your immoral
Beauty, that leads me with a magic hair
Up the spun highway of a vanishing hill
To Words....”
