NO STONES NEED TO BE MOVED OR REMOVED TO RETRIEVE THIS CACHE. Please do not disturb the “Irish Stone Wall” or this cache will be archived.
This farmstead was established around 1916 and the quilt pattern was selected to reflect the beautiful flower gardens around the barn, including pink and purple tulips in the spring. The “Irish Stone Wall” was constructed between 2010 and 2012 by the farm owner.
This cache will bring you to a viewing location for one of the Barn Quilts of Door County. The quilt is one of 45 placed in Door County between 2010-2012 as a joint project of the UW-Extension, 4-H members and leaders, FFA members and alumni, local quilt guild members and other volunteers.
The goals of the Door County Barn Quilt Project are:
-
Promote the agricultural heritage of Door Co.
-
Provide education about the art and history of quilting
-
Highlight the architecture and historical significance of barns throughout Door Co.
-
Encourage economic development by promoting rural tourism
-
Build an adult-youth partnership through the implementation of the project
