BQDC # 16, Farmer’s Puzzle Traditional Cache

The Barn Quilt is located about ½-mile N of cache location and can be viewed better by driving north on Mathey Road.  Please do not drive into the yard as farm dogs will start barking and approaching your vehicle.

Please be sure the container is closed tight and placed back in the appropriate spot.

This barn was built in the 1800’s and the farm is operated by the 5^th generation of the family.

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

More information on the project can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/BarnQuiltsOfDoorCounty

Please tread lightly as you search out the caches.  CITO and BYOP.  Feel free to post pictures of the barn quilts, but please don’t give away the cache location or container.

Happy Caching!
