Geocache Description:


The Green County Barn Quilts project started in 2008, and by the end of 2010 the 100th barn quilt was installed. Barn quilts are painted wooden squares (designed like one block of a real quilt pattern), generally 8 x 8 feet in size. Some are located on "working" barns, and others are displayed on "retired" barns. It's not as challenging as geocaching, but hunting for the barn quilt locations is a true adventure in experiencing the roads less traveled of the Green County countryside.

The Lauer family farm has been in the family for 20 years now. Dennis & Elizabeth Lauer purchased the property in 1988. The barn was once used for hogs in the 1950s and horses in the 1980s. The structure has a foundation of stone and has a 10 X 10 hand cut beam framework put together by pins. Currently the barn is used for storage. The quilt pattern is "Tumble Weed."
