The society's primary function is to promote, educate and illustrate the history of Ballwin, its exploration, settlement, development and activities. Ballwin is a unique name for a City. The City was founded by John Ball, son of James Ball and Mary Bray Ball of Virginia and Kentucky. His father, James, who came to America from Dublin, Ireland, served in the 4th and 8th Virginia Regiments during the Revolutionary War. Because of his military service, he was given a military land warrant and moved to this new land in Kentucky after the war.
