Barlow House Museum
Barlow House, Barlow, Ballard County, Kentucky
Thomas Jefferson Barlow  was the first of his family to  settle in the "wilderness" of Ballard County  in  1849.   Later his son,  Clifton Jesse Barlow   built  the  classic  11  room  Victorian  
house which would become home to his wife and seven  children,  the  rural  Victorian Bar-
low House.		     The house was left as a gift
    to  the  residence of Ballard
    County by Vivian J Barlow,
    the eldest of the seven Bar-
    low  children.

Mr. Barlow was an avid traveler as well as a writer, 
musician, teacher and historian.

 
        On display in the house are many wonderful examples of  Mr. Barlow's varied and valued
          collections.  Amidst  the  home's turn of  the  century architecture,  you will find the World
          War I uniform worn  by Mr. Barlow,  his scores of delicate  China collectibles from around 
          the world, the wedding gown worn by his mother in the late 1800s & period furniture that
          had been meticulously restored to its original grandeur.
 
 
   Family mementos are scattered throughout the home, including programs from turn of the century
    musical presentations, early family portraits,  vintage personal  items such as jewelry & accessories
    along with crystal and glass pieces of European origin.
