The History & Archaeology of the Blue Ball Tavern
The 100 + year old Blue Ball Barn has become an
iconic symbol of northern Delaware and the Concord
Highway corridor in particular.
Before the barn, however, the site was the
location of the Blue Ball Tavern, serving
the area's residents and travelers along the
highway from Colonial times and into the 19th
century. In this illustrated talk, retired
Delaware State Parks archaeologist, John McCarthy,
recounts the history of the tavern property
and the findings of archaeological investigations
vconducted as Concord Highway was widened and the
tavern site paved-over.
