Reflect on times past as you travel through present scenery of Wilkes County , with generational homesteads, barns and farms.  Quilt patterns were chosen from centuries old, placed on barns of local residents wishing to ensure this legacy, and enjoyed by all who gaze and recognize it as a form of art.  

Sharing rich heritage through quilt design, Wilkes County Quilters Guild in partnership with Cultural Arts Council of Wilkes present a Barn Quilt Trail of twelve quilts. Wilkes County Public School art students participated in producing three blocks, initiating future generations to keep the historic quilting tradition alive .
