Barn Quilt Trail - NJ Highlands Region Tourism

The Barn Quilt Project in New Jersey is a project coordinated by volunteers of the New Jersey Museum of Agriculture. This project is
designed to celebrate New Jersey’s agricultural
heritage, highlighting farms across the state with
beautiful quilt blocks. These barn quilts draw
attention to the unique architecture and history
of New Jersey barns and other agriculture related buildings, and promote the education of
New Jersey’s strong Agriculture legacy.
This project speaks to issues vital to the economy of New Jersey:

Other Barn Quilts & Trails
Barn Quilts are colorful square plywood
blocks mounted on barns or other buildings.
The idea was originated in Ohio by Donna
Sue Groves who wanted to honor her mother,
an avid quilter. A “Clothesline of Quilts” has
since spread through counties in 28 states including Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, New York,
North Carolina, Ohio,Tennessee, and now
New Jersey. As of the beginning of 2011 there
were over 3,000 quilts on display including a
trail in British Columbia and Ontario.
