"God and Country"
Looking for an afternoon activity to enjoy at your leisure? Well we got just the trail for you, by car or motorcycle, try to the Marshall County Barn Quilt Trail. This journey involves forty-two quilt block patterns that have been mounted on Marshall County’s barns, homes, and community buildings.
The trail began is 2009, becoming Indiana’s First Barn Quilt Trail which celebrates the history of agriculture, the time honor tradition of quilting, the community’s passion for art, community pride, and Hoosier hospitality.
The art of quilt making has come full circle since the first women settlers brought it from Europe to America’s shores. Then quilts and quilting echoed the social and economic history of families and communities.

We were able to take in some of the beautiful quilt barns this summer. Now that we are looking at our pictures I am unable to put names on the Quilt Barn picture that I took. Is there a brochure with pictures of the barns and their names? My husband and I enjoyed touring the country to find the barns. I am a beginner quilter so I am unable to identify the blocks. Please help! Joanne
Joanne, you are able to print our Marshall County Barn Quilt brochure off our website, or send me your mailing address to info@visitmarshallcounty.org and I can mail your the brochure. I am so glad you enjoyed our trail…we like hearing your feedback.
