    Randolph County has joined counties throughout the United States in celebrating both our agricultural heritage and the beauty of the hand-made quilt. The 46 barn quilts on our trail are a tribute to those who have gone before us, creating the place we call “home,” and a reminder that there is beauty in both nature and people’s creativity. The Quilt Barn Ramble committee extends sincere thanks to all those who have made this project a reality: the barn owners, area businesses, organizations and individu-als for their support, and the many volunteers who gave of their time and talent.

    When viewing and enjoying the Quilt Barn Ramble, use caution when slowing or stopping near a site. Stopping along roads can be dangerous and illegal. Most quilt barns are on private property and should be viewed from public roads unless otherwise indicated at the site.
