The Ballance House and its collection

The Ballance House
Source

The Ballance House is a restored 19th century homestead in the rural countryside of Glenavy. It was the birthplace of John Ballance who went on to become the 14th Premier of New Zealand (1891-93). Our Exhibition 'Half a World Away From Here - Our New Zealand Story' engages visitors in an exploration of New Zealand and the extraordinary contribution Ulster people, such as John Ballance, made to its development. It highlights history, culture and people, an unusual collection of Maori exhibits and a display of 19th century farming machinery. A key feature is the authentically restored Parlour.
