Ballestone Mission Statement
The Ballestone Preservation Society was founded to preserve Ballestone-Stansbury House and the collection of American Decorative Arts (1780-1880) displayed within the interior of the recreated period rooms. The society also sponsors a variety of special exhibits related to American History, American Decorative and Applied Arts, and the history of the site. The site is also host to a variety of seasonal events and the Living History re-enactments. The society welcomes all who have a love for American and Local History, and an interest in American Decorative Arts, American Social History, and community team building and events.
We are in the midst of researching Ballestone's land and its owners and have already discovered documents we didn't know existed. Upon completion of the research, we will be updating the website to include these findings. Please accept our apologies for the delay. The
Event Page and Event Calendar Page is accurate and updated regularly.
