Blue Ball Barn, Cultural center in Alapocas Run State Park, Wilmington, US.

The Blue Ball Barn features a two-story stone structure with extensive galleries displaying the Delaware Folk Art Collection and multiple reception rooms.

Alfred I. duPont constructed this agricultural building in 1914, naming it after the former Blue Ball Tavern that operated as an inn and meeting house.

The Delaware Folk Art Collection within the barn presents regional artistic traditions through exhibits, workshops, and educational programs throughout the year.

Located at 1914 West Park Drive, the facility remains open daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM with multiple parking spaces near the entrance.

The stone barn maintains its original agricultural architectural elements while functioning as a modern venue for exhibitions, meetings, and outdoor events.
