Ball's Tavern


Ball’s Tavern may be an aspiration for the Ballston Mall when it ultimately reopens. Built in 1774 by a grandchild of the Ball family (the original founders of Ballston) as a two-story log inn, the tavern was a social hotspot for the community, but it was more than just a meeting space. Over time, the tavern also operated as a general store, a post office, and a local voting precinct.
