Need to get out of the house? Take a drive of Franklin County Barn Quilts.
First, no; they are not quilts keeping cows warm. The Franklin County Barn Quilt Trail consists of 300+ painted quilt blocks on structures in Franklin County and beyond, mapped for you to drive by. They are all visible from public roads. This opportunity was first inspired by a Sheldon resident’s trip through Elkhart, Indiana’s barn quilt painting region. This is much the spirit of the gorgeous painted hex barn art of SE Pennsylvania Dutch region, which is done ‘just for nice’. Use their online map. Of course, please respect private property and use every safety precaution when pulling over to admire them. And, if you see some land for sale that you want more information about, contact us!

Don grew up in Vermont, loving the outdoors. After college, he had an illustrious career as a professional ski instructor at Smugglers Notch Resort where he enjoyed sharing his love of the mountains and the sport with kids and adults. The off-season led to Don shifting roles to a year-round position in permitting and planning for the resort. This provided him a foundation of knowledge and experience in these areas that has extended into Don’s current career in Real Estate.
