The Ballantine House — Attraction in Newark

Attached to the New Jersey Museum of Art. This was a great attached side attraction that allowed me to experience the glories of life in a Victorian American home during the Gilded Age of our country in the late 19th century.

When it comes to the structure of the Ballentine House, it is easy to admire just how the family, prominently known for their role in Newark's brewery industry, thrived in the late 19th century with their immense power and wealth during this period of time. The house, a relic of the 1880s decade, showcases all of the original rooms in a manner that admires the glory of the house and also serves as an example of what individuals would have lived in during the period.

Talking about Alice Ballentine, in addition to John and Jeanette Ballentine, this mansion presents the rooms they often occupied the most, such as the parlor, where tea was served, the doors to the kitchen, the library, and the individual bedrooms that they would have spend considerable amounts of time planning and talking during the days they resided in the mansion. I was flattered just learning about their general relationships with others and their personal strength in the conversations.

Overall, if you are coming as part of the Newark Museum of Art, admire this area, as it would allow you to embrace the glory and tragedy of the presence of power in American society during the Gilded Age. Come here to learn more about the...
