Prom Pictures at the Victorian Mansion Published on April 28, 2025 by Lisa Gallagher It is a long-standing tradition for Barnesville High School prom attendees to gather at our Victorian Museum with family and friends for picture-taking. This year, we invite Barnesville High School students to join us at the museum on May 3rd, 2025, from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm. For a donation, students may use several beautiful locations on the first floor, including the grand staircase, as a backdrop for their memorable prom pictures. Of course, everyone is welcome to utilize the gazebo, porch, and grounds as usual.
Lecture Series: Local Historian Bruce Yarnall Published on April 6, 2025 by Lisa Gallagher Local historian Bruce Yarnall will share a presentation called “Through the Lens of History: Local Postcard History.” For almost 100 years, the postcard was the equivalent of today’s social media “instant messaging” and today’s social media photo posts. Come to the Belmont County Victorian Mansion Museum to learn about local history through Yarnall’s incredible postcard collection and his stories. This event is free and open to the public and will take place on Thursday, April 22nd at 6:00 PM. The stately homes surrounding the former Bradfield Mansion at 532 North Chestnut Street, the current home for the Belmont County Victorian Mansion Museum, have changed little since this real photo postcard view was captured more than 110 years ago.
