First Battle of Boonville June 17, 1861 The Battle of Boonville took place on June 17, 1861. By most standards of warfare, the Battle of Boonville was more truly a skirmish or demonstration than a full blown battle. But small conflicts can sometimes have large consequences, and such was the case with the outcome of the Battle of Boonville. The battle was not only one of the first flash points of conflict in the rapidly escalating Civil War, but it also helped to decide in favor of the Union the then uncertain question of Missouri’s ultimate status.

Ex-Confederate Thomas L. Snead summarized the consequences of the Battle of Boonville in 1888: “Insignificant as was this engagement in a military aspect, it was in fact a stunning blow to the Southern Rights’ people of the State, and one which did incalculable and unending injury to the Confederates.”

PILOT GROVE FOR MORE INFO VISIT: pilotgrovemo.org

P

ilot Grove dates back to about 1820, when settlers first made their homes south of Boonville. Other pioneers, headed farther west, took their bearings from the cluster of trees and gave it the name Pilot Grove.

About 50 years later, workers laid the tracks for the Missouri-KansasTexas Railroad across the county, missing the town by about a mile. So the townsfolk packed up their village and moved it northeast to the grove and the railroad.

History is also important in Pilot Grove, with tours of three lovely old homes available on a limited basis.

Originally built in 1837, Crestmead was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

The home features a central hall staircase that spans three stories

from the Shorthorn herd established by Will Betteridge in 1888.

Tours are $5 per person; call (660) 834-4140 for reservations.

Built with handmade bricks in 1820, Pleasant Green Plantation House

CreStmead

leading to the third floor observatory. Crestmead suffered a fire in 2008, but damaged areas were restored based on original plans and the house retains a number of original features, including the front doors and fireplaces in three of the rooms. There is also a slave house, ice house and buggy building. The home is still home to a herd of cattle directly descended

pleasant green plantation house

was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

The nine-room home was constructed on Old Georgetown Road, which served as the main route from Boonville to the

southwest, and at one point served as the local post office. The property also still has one of its five slave cabins still standing.

Tours – given by guides in period dress – are $5 per person, with refreshments optional for tours of 12 or more. Call (660) 8343945 for reservations.

Burwood is an historic 1880s Victorian home featuring eight fireplaces and a slave cabin. Tours are $5 per person; call (660) 834-3406 to schedule a tour.

The Cooper County Historical Society Research Center, at 111 Roe St., also attracts the attention of history and genealogy buffs.

Boonslick Barn Quilt Tour

COOPER COUNTY

Barn Quilts of

Cooper County 1. “MO Star Block”

2. “The Trails”

3. “Wedding Ring”

Missouri River Valley Steam Engine Association I-70 East Exit 111

Karla and Russell Lang Hwy. 41 & Springs Road, Lamine

Mark and Linda Mellor 13355 Hwy. 5, south of Boonville

Dennis Ficken with the Missouri River Valley Steam Engine Association said the organization’s grounds were chosen for Boonslick’s first barn quilt block because of its easy-to-find location and visibility right off of Interstate 70.

Pattern was chosen because of the proximity to Santa Fe Trail, The Boonslick Trail, US Route 40 & 1-70. This region is truly an area of transportation to the west.

The Mellors chose the “Wedding Ring” pattern as a tribute to the late Pat Jackson because it was her favorite. “It just meant a little more because it was for her,” Mark said. “We actually had a wedding ring pattern quilt on our bed too, so there was some significance there for both of us.” Jackson was a member of the Boonslick Area Tourism Council Board.

4. “Star and Pin Wheel”

5. “Sarah’s Choice”

6. “Doris’ Choice”

Herbert and Alice Gerke 13953 Hwy. 135, Pilot Grove

Tim and Ann Marie Smith 1 mile east of I-70 off Exit 106 (Hwy. 87)

The Doris Viertel Family 21634 Hwy. 98, Boonville

Alice Gerke chose the “Star and Pin Wheel” pattern because she liked the colors and that it was a star. “I just thought it was pretty,” she said, noting that she likes having the block on the barn, which was built in 1919 by Barney Bonen.

Gerke said she also enjoys seeing visitors stop to get pictures of her square.

Ann Marie Smith said she “looked and looked forever” before settling on the “Sarah’s Choice” pattern for its patriotic feel. “I had seen the barn quilts and thought they were really, really neat,” she said. “They give people an idea of the history of the area, and I love quilts.”

Bruce Viertel encouraged his mother, Doris, to put a block on their barn when they were approached by the Boonslick Area Tourism Council. “It does dress up the barn a little bit,” Viertel said. The barn, built in 1923, sits on the Viertel family’s century farm in Boonville. He said “Doris’ Choice” was an obvious pick for the pattern given his mother’s name.

7. “9 Patch”

8. “Liberty Star”

9. “Harvest Star”

Marjorie Loesing 21738 Hwy. 98, Boonville Marjorie and her late husband, Clarence, got involved with the barn quilt project at the behest of their neighbor. She chose the 9 Patch pattern because the first quilt she ever made was a 9 patch, and she liked it.“It’s nice and simple, like me,” Marjorie said. She said she has enjoyed the attention the quilt block garners.

Thomas and Amy Watring 12221 Hwy. 135, Pilot Grove

James and Jackie Reuter 6048 Hwy. HH, Pilot Grove

Amy Watring said she has enjoyed being part of the Barn Quilt Tour. They chose the Liberty Star pattern because it was her favorite of the ones they were given to pick from. “It’s really pretty when you come down the hill and see it,” Watring said. “We’ve had a lot of compliments on it.”

Jackie learned about the Barn Quilt Tour while attending a festival at Boone’s Lick State Park with her mother. “I was just enthralled with it.

I think it’s a really neat thing,” Reuter said. She chose the “Harvest Star” pattern because she and her husband live on his family’s farm, and it felt like an appropriate choice.

10. “Sun Bonnet Sue”

11. “Prairie Queen”

12. “North Star”

James and Rosemary Schuster 14200 Hwy. HH, Pilot Grove

Russell and Karla Lang 8498 Springs Road, Blackwater, Lamine

Francis and Sammie Brengarth 16170 Hwy. V, Wooldridge

Rosemary chose “SunBonnet Sue” because she had always liked it – “it is a little bit different” from the others in that it doesn’t as obviously resemble a quilt pattern. She joined the project because she likes driving around to see the barns – and their blocks – herself. “I enjoy seeing them when you drive through the country,” she said. Block on the south side of the barn.

The farm is called The Prairie. The name was picked because their house was a Sears catalog design with the name “Prairie” in it.

The square on the Brengarths’ barn was a 50th wedding anniversary present from the couple’s children. Sammie said she chose the “North Star” pattern because she felt it matched the setting. She said she enjoys being a part of the Boonslick Barn Quilt Tour because of the attention it brings to the barn. “Everyone notices,” Sammie said.

Barn Quilts of

Cooper County 13. “Dresden Plate”

14. “Card Basket”

15. “Log Cabin”

Mark and Donna Gerke 3699 Hwy. HH, Pilot Grove

Bob and Ann Betteridge 7400 Hwy. A, Pilot Grove

Vernon and Joan Booker 14120 Hwy. F, Boonville

Ann says she liked quilts all her life and her grandmother was the inspiration behind her pattern choice. “I liked the colors, and I wanted a basket pattern because my grandmother had a quilt, and part of it was named basket.”

Joan was interested in the barn quilts because she was a quilter. “I have made a number of quilts, and the log cabin was one of my favorites,” Joan said. The Bookers also had a voice in the colors used for their barn quilt block. “We chose the coloring because we have blue roofs and tan sides on our house,” Joan said.

16. “The Trails”

17. “Overall Sam”

18. “Stained Glass”

John and Connie Hamilton 6026 Hwy. 135, Otterville

Virgil and Dolores Stegner 10999 Hwy. 135, Pilot Grove

Martha Jane Twenter 10997 Hwy. N, Pilot Grove

John said he and his wife thought the barn quilt project was “a great idea.” “It is something that brightens up the countryside and brings attention to the barns,” John said. The house and barn were built in the 1850s and they chose The Trails pattern because of their property’s history as a stop on the Butterfield State Coach Line.

With two other barn quilt blocks within three miles, Dolores said she was more than happy to add her barn to the tour. “I’m associated with the group that organizes it, and I’ve done a little bit of the tours — I look for them every time I drive around the country,” she said. She said she chose Overall Sam because the young fisherman is representative of her three sons.

The owners like the pattern and the colors.

Stained Glass was chosen because the owners are devout Christians.

Barn Quilts of

Cooper County 19. “Sunflower”

20. “Bear Paw”

Avery and Tammy Goehman 6571 Hwy. 135, Pilot Grove

Geroge and Linda McCollum 18957 Hwy. JJ, Sedalia

The Sunflower pattern was chosen because the family grows sunflowers

The Bear Paw was chosen because the family has this bear statue in their yard. The quilt block was a gift from the couple’s children and this is why they picked this pattern.

About Vintage Hill Owned by Jeff Oberhaus Vintage Hill is located on a 100acre farm in Howard County in the rolling river hills. It was established in 1991 as Vintage Hill but has been a farm for over 100 years. The farmhouse was built circa 1907 and was owned by the same family until the late 60’s. Vintage Hill opened the greenhouse in 1993 and is a wonderful place for plant enthusiasts!

Along with plants, Vintage Hill breeds Oldenburg sport horses. Highland cattle were added to the farm in 2005.

The Vintage Hill barn quilt block was the 10th barn block added in Howard County. The barn is a training stable for the horses and

was built in 2002. Besides horses and cattle, Vintage Hill is also home to peafowl, chickens, and an ever roaming pack of Welsh Pembroke Corgis.

Thank you, Jeff, for letting us feature your barn block on the cover of Barn Quilts of the Boonslick!

FAYETTE COURTHOUSE | MIKE KELLNER

hen the Missouri River washed away the original town of Franklin in 1823, in the first of a series of historic floods, settlers platted Fayette in the rolling farmland of central Howard County and made it the county seat. They named the town after the Marquis de Lafayette, a French citizen who served as a general for George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Today, it is hard to find a more pastoral, peaceful community anywhere in MidMissouri, but during the Civil War, Fayette was the scene of

much mayhem. On September 24, 1864, William “Bloody Bill” Anderson and George Todd led about 250 proSouthern guerrillas in an attack upon 40 or so Union troops stationed in Fayette, which was decidedly pro-Southern in its popular sympathies.

Thirteen of Anderson’s men died in the unsuccessful attack, while the Union forces lost only one killed. The state has placed a commemorative marker on the campus of Central Methodist University (CMU), just north of downtown Fayette.

The Little Theatre at CMU produces four main stage shows a year and hosts several visiting professional companies.

Theater-lovers will also want to check out the Fayette Area Community Theatre, which hosts three shows each year.

CMU

moved the observatory to Fayette in 1935. Its 12inch refracting telescope, built in the late 1800s, is a thing of finely crafted beauty. And, speaking of beauty, many of the antebellum homes and buildings around town are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

NEW FRANKLIN FOR MORE INFO VISIT: newfranklinmo.org

T

here are two towns named Franklin in the Boonslick country, but the original town of Franklin which was chartered in 1816 and was a hub of activity is no more. It was the largest town west of the Mississippi River and became the starting off point for the Santa Fe Trail when William Becknell organized the first Santa Fe Trek that left Franklin on Sept. 1, 1821. The Missouri River floods of 1826 and 1828 caused the abandonment of the town of Franklin. New Franklin was built up the hill and was chartered in 1828 where it became a railroad town.

The town of Franklin Junction (currently Franklin) was built as a railroad hub a few years later. The Katy Trail State Park runs through

both communities and there is a trailhead just south of downtown New Franklin and overnight camping at the Katy Roundhouse Campground.

The town is known as the four trails because the Katy Trail State Park, Boonslick Road, Santa Fe Trail and Lewis and Clark Trail all converge here. History waits in every direction in downtown New Franklin. You can visit the South Howard County Museum or the kiosk’s in downtown New Franklin.

Just down the hill on the Katy Trail a caboose reminds us of the railroad history of the town.

There you will also find granite monuments depicting William Becknell, Josiah Gregg, Kit Carson, Ezekial Williams, Millie Cooper and

Plant a Little Paradise...

A bounty of botanical wonderment awaits you at Vintage Hill.

Over 1700 varieties of Annuals, Perennials, Tropicals, Hardy Roses, unusual Shrubs and Hanging Baskets grown just for you here in the scenic river hills of central Missouri are ready to add beauty and grace to your garden. We thrive on introducing underutilized, heat tolerant, tough plants to give your gardens the “WOW” factor you deserve! Huge selection of pottery.

On Highway 87 you will see markers telling the story about the town of Franklin and a flag pole in a farmer’s field that shows where the center of town was. It was the home of the Santa Fe Trail and the Missouri Intelligencer – the first newspaper west of the Mississippi River.

The history of music is also apparent in this small town. You can visit the grave of Edgar “Jelly” Settle, author of the “Missouri Waltz” the state’s official song (perhaps originally titled the “Graveyard Waltz”) in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery.

oming from the west at night on Highway 240, drivers first see Glasgow as a chain of sparkling lights along the Missouri River bluff ahead of them, like a fairy kingdom hovering in midair.

In the early 1800s, Glasgow, named after one of its 13 founders, was one of the most prosperous towns in Missouri. Wealthy planters grew hemp and tobacco in the scenic hills along the river. Many of their beautiful antebellum homes remain today. The town was a vibrant steamboat port, in the best tradition of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. By the time the Civil War changed everything, Glasgow comprised two drug stores, five churches, a law office, a bank, a barber shop, two hotels, a shoe factory, a newspaper and, in the finest spirit of the age, SIX saloons.

510 First St. Glasgow, MO In 1864, Confederate forces under General Sterling Price brought war to the bustling town, fighting a bloody battle with Union troops defending the town on October 15.

Before surrendering Glasgow to the Confederates, the Union forces blew up their ammunition dump in the courthouse, destroying about half of the buildings downtown.

After the war, Glasgow rebounded and became the site of the world’s first allsteel bridge, built in 1879 by the Chicago & Alton railroad.

Today, downtown Glasgow is a charming place.

You can easily walk through all of the downtown, visiting the charming shops and restaurants housed in the rebuilt city.

Don’t forget to visit the Lewis Library, the second oldest library in Missouri (opened in 1867) and the oldest in continuous use west of the Mississippi.

Boonslick Barn Quilt Tour

HOWARD COUNTY

Barn Quilts of

Howard County 1. “Electric Fan”

2. “Farmer’s Daughter”

3. “Bear Claw”

Martha Holman 1410 Hwy. 240, Fayette

Edris and Robert Wilhoit Jr. 193 Hwy. 5 & Hwy. 240, Fayette

David and Elaine Smith 1050 Hwy. 240, Fayette

The “Electric Fan” block has special significance for Martha. “That pattern was the pattern of one of my mother’s favorite quilts that she kept on her bed,” Martha said. She said she agreed to participate in the barn quilt program because she liked the idea of the tour. “I feel like it’s a worthwhile project,” Martha said. “It kind of enhances the countryside.”

It was a longtime connection that got the Wilhoit’s involved in the barn quilt program.

“Our barn is well-located and I grew up in the same neighborhood as Connie Shay who painted the block”, states Robert. Edris said they chose “Farmer’s Daughter” because it has been a favorite in their family for several generations.

David knew he wanted this pattern to reflect his love of big game hunting. He has even been bear hunting as well as other big game.

4. “Wild Iris”

5. “Prairie Flower”

6. “Shady Pines”

Margie Aholt 1001 Randolph St./Hwy. 240, Glasgow Hwy. 240 becomes Randolph St.

Robby and Lynn Harvey 231 W. Broadway, New Franklin

Chip and Marti Ferry 2750 Hwy. 5, New Franklin

This block was designed and painted by Tourism Council member, Connie Shay. The barn is located near the starting point of several trails West and she felt the design was a reflection of the pioneer spirit and movement.

Marti loves taking walks around their farm and chose this pattern and colors because they remind her of all the beautiful trees on the farm.

7. “Fireman’s Cross”

8. “Heavenly Star”

9. “Dresden Plate”

Scotty Schiflett 1531 Hwy. 5 and 240, Fayette

Debbie Johnson 1080 Business 5 and Hwy. 240, Glasgow

Norma and Howard Robertson 5443 Hwy. 87, Franklin

Scotty’s mother & father-in-law wanted something special as a gift to him. He has been a volunteer fireman for many years. His sister-inlaw designed the pattern, named it in his honor and installed it as a surprise to him.

Debbie let her school students vote on her pattern.

Norma Robertson said she chose the “Dresden Plate” block for their barn because her motherin-law had a quilt with the same pattern and she liked it.“I enjoy looking at it as I go past the barn,” Norma said.

10. “Shadow Star”

11. “Wedding Bouquet”

12. “Olympia”

Jeff Oberhaus – Vintage Hill Farm 5643 Hwy. 87, Franklin

Robert and Marilyn Young – Sunny Slope Farm 3831 Hwy. 240, Rocheport

Dale and Karen Johnson 2683 Hwy. 5 & Hwy. 240, Glasgow

Jeff said quilt block painter, Connie Shay, a longtime customer, convinced him to participate in the barn quilt tour. Jeff said he chose “Shadow Star” because it was a little different and he thought the colors would look good on the barn — he noted some of the same colors can be seen in the trim on his buildings.

Bob and Marilyn’s daughters wanted something special to commemorate Bob’s 80th birthday and the couple’s 60th wedding anniversary.

They surprised them with this pattern named Wedding Bouquet and painted it in Marilyn’s favorite color, Williamsburg Blue.

Dale said he and his wife decided to put a quilt block on their barn after their daughter had one placed on her property. “There’s a lot more interest in them than I thought there was,” Dale said. They selected “Olympia” simply because they liked the pattern. “We looked through the book and it just stood out in our minds that was the one we wanted,” he said.

Barn Quilts of

Howard County 14. “Weathervane”

13. “Farmer’s Daughter”

John and Kim Thompson 279 County Rd. 342, Franklin Kim selected the pattern as it is one of her favorite old-fashioned patterns. She wanted the red, white and blue colors to contrast with the gray on their barn.

Visit Historic

Ron and Sharon Hutchinson 30909 Hwy. 129, Salisbury The Hutchinsons chose the “Weathervane” pattern for the gable-style barn (circa 19001910) in honor of Sharon’s mother, Rachel Morris Whitesitt – it is a pattern she made for one of her grandchildren. “Gran was a weather watcher all her life, as many farmers are, so this quilt pattern seemed appropriate,” Sharon said.

ARROW ROCK FOR MORE INFO VISIT: arrowrock.org lyceumtheatre.org friendsofarrowrock.com

T

here’s a busy season ahead at Arrow Rock, Missouri’s world-renowned historical village on a bluff above the Missouri River on the route of the old Santa Fe Trail. With the entire village being a National Historic Landmark and a State Historic Site, Arrow Rock is a must-see destination for anyone traveling through the Boonslick country.

Today 56 people call Arrow Rock home, but 150 years ago this was a prosperous Missouri River port with a population

40

of approximately 1,000.

Confederate sympathizers and several Missouri governors made Arrow Rock their home. Artist George Caleb Bingham built a house here in 1837, and Boonslick people and places became the subjects of his many portraits and paintings that depict politics and life of the Missouri River.

later hasn’t always been the City of Festivals. At the time of its founding in 1878, it was better known for its ninebay railroad roadhouse, property of the Chicago & Alton Railroad.

The town was named for Colonel John Slater, an official with said railroad,

which extended from Chicago down to Alton, Ill., and then westward to Kansas City. Slater sat right in the middle, between Alton and KC. There’s still a railroad line through Slater, but now it’s the Kansas City Southern. And now there are festivals, beginning with the Steve McQueen Days Car Show the end of April and ending with Winterfest in December.

The first of August, remotecontrol aircraft lovers will hold a Remote-Control Fly-In at the Slater Municipal Airport and visitors can enjoy the annual

Antique Tractor Pull at the Airport Industrial Park.

The Slater Fall Festival, usually held on the city streets around the third weekend in September, draws crowds with a carnival, craft booths, flea market, fish fry, beer garden and parade.

Besides Steve McQueen, other notables with a Slater connection include Olympic gold medalist/NBA star Joe Kleine and Walter Chrysler, founder of the eponymous automobile company.

an Meter State Park, located just 12 miles north of Marshall on Highway 122, features remnants of the Missouria Indian village that sat at the Great Bend of the Missouri River, marked on a map by Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet in 1673. A handdug earthwork — called Old Fort — and several burial mounds lie within the park’s boundaries. The state’s Indian history is interpreted in displays and exhibits at Missouri’s American Indian Cultural Center, located within the park. There is a gift shop, but admission to the center and to the park is free.

44

Temporary and permanent displays interpret the cultural history of the nine tribes that called Missouri home in the early 19th century—the OtoeMissouria, Osage, Delaware, Ioway, Illini- Peoria, Kanza, Kickapoo, Sac and Fox. There is a large display of early maps of North America, depicting early European exploration and contact with American Indian tribes.

In addition, visitors can learn about William Clark, of Lewis and Clark fame. Clark was superintendent of Indian affairs in 1813. For outdoor enthusiasts, the

park features hiking trails and an 18-acre lake. A boardwalk leads visitors through the Oumessourit Natural Area, taking them over a freshwater marsh and fens, and through bottomland and upland forests. The park’s loft trees shade picnic sites, picnic shelters and a campground.

Boonslick Barn Quilt Tour

SALINE COUNTY

Barn Quilts of

Saline County 1. “Farmer’s Daughter”

2. “Santa Fe Wagon Tracks”

3. “Country Farm”

Richard and Carol Raynor 29117 E. Hwy. 240, Marshall

Robert Thompson Hwy. AC, 1 mile north of Arrow Rock

V. Elaine Osborn 22264 Hwy. D, Hardeman

The Raynors’ barn was one of the first to join the tour in Saline County. Carol said they chose the “Farmer’s Daughter” pattern because their farm has been passed down through the generations to daughters. “My mother inherited the farm and then I inherited it. I have four daughters and I will leave the farm to them,” she said.

This barn block is on the barn which sits on the Santa Fe Trail just north of Arrow Rock.

Elaine said she chose the “Country Farm” pattern “because it just sounded appropriate.” “We raise corn and soybeans, and we’re right out here in the middle of the country,” Elaine said.

Visitors often come by or stop to take pictures.

“I think it’s a great way for people that might be passing through, to give them something to do,” she said.

4. “Oak Wreath”

5. “Four Flags”

6. “May Basket”

George and Sharon Meinershagen 13401 Hwy. ZZ, Sweet Springs

Doug and Ricci Cook 12063 126th Rd., Sweet Springs

Adam and Rita Shaw 14094 Hwy. 20, Blackburn

Sharon said she saw the barn quilt program as a good way to preserve historic barns in the area.

“I think it’s a shame these old barns are disappearing” she said. Sharon designed her own block with patterns from Pennsylvania Dutch hex symbols, carefully plotting which symbols and colors to use.“I put in all positive elements,” she said.

7. “Shaded Trail”

8. “Farmer’s Wife”

9. “Indian Maze”

Mildred Earnst 27200 Hwy. BB, Grand Pass

36354 E. Hwy. 240, Gilliam

Jan and John VanMeter Stapleton 31708 N. Hwy. 122, Miami

Mildred said she decided to be part of the barn quilt tour because “I thought it would be neat, and it is.” Mildred said having a square on her barn has caused her to look for others when she is driving through the country. She said she chose “Shaded Trail” because she thought it would look good on her barn.

Robert Johnson, who owned the barn when it became part of the barn quilt project, said he agreed to participate when asked because of his late wife. When shown the design options and what they stood for, Robert said he selected “Farmer’s Wife” as a tribute to his wife.

Donated by the Country Patchwork Quilt Guild.

10. “Arrow of Peace”

11. “Where the Corn Is”

12. “Arrow Star”

Dan and Rebecca Buie 23462 N. Saline Hwy. 65, Marshall

George Harrison and Dan Finley Hwy. 65 S. & Hwy. 127, Malta Bend

Whitney and Day Kerr 37528 Hwy. TT, Arrow Rock

Rebecca said they chose “Arrow of Peace” because they wanted something that was a little different. “The idea of something that represented peace was important to me.

Recognizing Native American roots in our area was also important,” she said. Rebecca likes meeting visitors who stop to get pictures as well as having the artwork on her barn.

This barn quilt is a memorial to Russell Platner from his wife Becky. “I enjoy seeing it every time I drive by it,” she said.

Day said she and her husband chose the “Arrow Star” pattern because their farm is so close to Arrow Rock. Although the house on the property was completed in 1849, Day said the existing barn was built much later – likely in the 1920s or ’30s.

Barn Quilts of

Saline County 13. “North Star”

14. “Lindbergh Plane”

15. “Cross and Crown”

Eugene and Kay Markes 20284 Hwy. EE, Marshall

Bryan and Barbara Berlin 20363 Hwy. YY, Marshall

Nelson and Janie Weber and family 28745 N. Hwy. 41, Marshall

Kay chose the “Wandering Star” pattern, but likes the “North Star” because of the colors and because “it’s got quite a story.” The “North Star” pattern was one of several used by the Underground Railroad. It was used to signal two messages — to prepare to escape, and to follow the “North Star” to freedom in Canada.

Barbara said they chose this pattern because they had seen a quilt at a bed and breakfast in Rocheport made entirely of Lindbergh squares and they liked it. “We thought it was an interesting pattern, and we were managers at an aviation museum in Marshall,” she said.

Janie said her family was inspired to participate after seeing other barn quilts in the area and on trips to Ohio. Janie said they chose “Cross and Crown” out of a book of quilt patterns because it was credited as having been added in 1932 – the same year the barn was built on the Webers’ farm, which has been in the family for three generations.

16. “Ohio Star”

17. “Farmer’s Fields”

18.

COMING IN 2016

Herbert and Pauline Kiehl 22530 Hwy. EE, North of Hwy. 20, Marshall They picked the Ohio Star pattern, because Pauline was born and raised in Ohio where she met her husband. After they were married, they moved to Saline County.

Barbara and Robert James 34188 E. Hwy. 240, Slater

Michael and Shellee Smith

Barbara James said it was seeing the quilt squares on other barns that inspired her to participate in the program. She said they chose the “Farmer’s Field” pattern because they liked it and because Robert has been a farmer his entire life.

hen you turn west onto Highway BB at the Rocheport Exit from I-70, you travel back in time to one of the quaintest towns in the Boonslick. Tiny Rocheport (French for “rock port”) has a historical presence. Lewis and Clark camped here in 1804. In 1892, the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad came to town and built the famous Rocheport Tunnel, through which you can still walk as part of the scenic Katy Trail State Park.

The nationally-renowned Les Bourgeois Vineyards and Winery is a popular destination with its

PHOTO COURTESY | LES BOURGEOIS

Blufftop Bistro, tasting room and the A-Frame which offers a beautiful view of the Missouri River.

Family owned and operated, Les Bourgeois had its first significant grape harvest in 1985, yielding nearly 500 gallons of red wine made at a small winery in Rolla. The following summer the Bourgeois family opened its winery out of the A-Frame. Today, Les Bourgeois is the third-largest winery in Missouri, with a 35-acre resort area that includes six acres of vineyards, a fine dining restaurant and the A-Frame and casual picnic/outdoor

wine garden and an additional 35 acres of vineyards and 20,000 square-foot winery and storage facility.

Rocheport is a travel destination where you will find antique stores, specialty shops, art galleries, restaurants, and bed & breakfasts scattered across the picturesque town — perfect for a day trip or a weekend getaway! The entire village is on the National Register of Historic Places.
