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.

Kristi's Grandpa Roy Hanson purchased the farm in 1936. His son - Ken Hanson and wife Kathryn then purchased the farm in 1952. In 1990 the farm was sold to their daughter and son-in-law. Pete and Kristi's son Travis is the fourth generation - thus the quilt name the "Road Home". The family has a herd of 60 cows, primarily registered Holsteins. They also raise Red Angus Beef cattle.
