Walker's Mill
This most noble occasion is held in benefit of the Harrison County Historical Museum, that our treasured heritage may be preserved for generations yet unborn.
WHEN LAST DID YOU PARTAKE IN A NIGHTof TRUE REFINEMENT?
In our modern haste, such evenings of elegance are but fleeting dreams.
In this hurried age, the art of leisure, conversation, and fine society is oft neglected.
The Bridgeton Ball is a rare opportunity to don thy most splendid attire, to waltz amidst glittering chandeliers, and to exchange pleasantries as did the gentlefolk of old — all whilst contributing to the noble preservation of our county’s most treasured relics.
Let not this most enchanting opportunity pass thee by.

Dearest Patron,

I entreat you to attend, that together we may preserve our heritage whilst reveling in the pleasures of fine company.
