Barn Quilt Trail

In 2009, traveling throughout the county became even more colorful with the development of the Marshall County Barn Quilt Trail, the first one in Indiana. On the trail, you will discover colorful, quilt-pattern murals adorning historic barns, family homesteads and public spaces.

This trail was created to celebrate the history of agriculture, the time-honored tradition of quilting and our passion for Hoosier hospitality.

The self-guided trail connects all six of the communities with four loops, all offering a variety of barn quilts in different colors and sizes. The quilts are painted by community volunteers, with assistance from location owners. Two volunteers, Thom and Connie Kleckner, have painted, designed and built the frames for a majority of the quilts.

More than 75 colorful quilt blocks appear throughout 150 miles of Marshall County.
