The 4th barn along the Clinton County Barn Quilt Trail is owned by Elsie Baldino. The barn is located at 2740 State Route 380 and is adorned with the quilt block design “Maple Leaf.” Elsie chose the multi-colored leaf design because of her love of all of the seasons.

Prior to the mid 1970s, this farm was owned by Fred Murphy. Pete and Elsie Baldino purchased the farm at action at that time. For many years the farm was operated as a dairy farm. After closing the dairy operation the farm was used to raise beef cattle. Currently the farm is in grain production with corn and beans being the primary crops. The barn that displays the Maple Leaf design was built prior to 1900 and was constructed with hand hewn beams and wooden pegs. It was recently sided to help prolong its life on the farm.
