The barn with the Farmers’ Delight Quilt Block, at 914 N Lincoln Street, is owned by Mervyn and Catherine (Roberts) Wisecup, and is the 53rd along the Clinton County Barn Quilt Trail. This block was chosen because of the many beautiful colors which represent the different farming seasons. The barn is one of the few that still exist within the city limits of Wilmington.

The barn was built in the late 1890’s or early 1900’s. At that time the property was owned by Jacob and Anna Burst. Mrs. Burst sold the property to J. Walter Gray in 1912. Mr. Gray owned the property until 1953 at which time it was sold to Orville and Ressie C. Davis. From that time until 2005 the property was sold several times and divided into building lots.

In 2005, Mervyn and Catherine Wisecup purchased the property with plans to restore the barn. Mervyn and Catherine were born in Clinton County, they left the community after graduating from high school but, after 40 years of living in the city and around the world, they decided to return to small rural home town life. Finding the property at 914 N Lincoln Street, provided what they were looking for as it had a little bit of county, but with the convenience of living in town.


Daryl and Danna Allen of Clarksville, are the sponsors of the Farmer’s Delight quilt block. We would like to thank them for their sponsorship as well as the many hours of volunteer time that they have given to the project.
