Elegant Venue for Your Prom Pictures

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 BHS and Union Local students to join us at the museum on April 27th, 2024, from 2:30pm to 4:30pm. For a donation, students may use several beautiful locations on the first floor, including the grand staircase as their backdrop for their memorable prom pictures. Of course, everyone is welcome to utilize the gazebo, porch, and grounds as usual.
