In 1887, the Ball family moved its glass manufacturing business
from Buffalo, NY to Muncie. Ball Brothers Glass Company
became one of America’s best known manufacturers of canning
jars. The Ball family purchased most of the land along the north
bank of the White River between Wheeling and Granville Pikes
in 1893. The name chosen by the family for the property was
taken from a Sioux word, “mna” (pronounced mini) which
means “water” and combined with the English word “tryst”
to form “Minnetrista,” or “a gathering place by the water”.
The origin of Minnetrista dates back to 1978, when Margaret
Ball Petty wrote to her cousin Edmund F. Ball, suggesting that
the Ball Brothers Foundation provide a museum in which to
exhibit fine art along with some Ball Jar artifacts. Every year
Ball Jar collectors from all over the U.S. will travel to Muncie for
a convention to show off their antique collection of Ball Jars.

BOB ROSS
Robert Norman Ross (October 29, 1942 – July 4, 1995) was an
American painter, art instructor, and television host. He was
the creator and host of The Joy of Painting, an instructional
television program that aired from 1983 to 1994 on PBS in the
United States, and also aired in Canada, Latin America, and
Europe. Ross went from being a public television personality
in the 1980s and 1990s to being an Internet celebrity in the
21st century, becoming popular with fans on YouTube and
