BARN QUILT TOUR

​After traveling through Iowa to Wisconsin, Nancy Lauck, a quilting enthusiast, was fascinated with the Barn Quilts that she found. She found the idea behind it to be important for farming communities. After being approached about spearheading the movement in Morgan County, Nancy loved the idea and since the barn on her farm was over 100 years old, it was the perfect place to start. In 2007 the barn showcased sixteen Barn Quilts. Since that time, the Morgan County Barn Quilt Project has blossomed to over 90 quilts in more than 60 different locations.
