Southwest Ontario Barn Quilt Trails

Barn quilt trails use colourful, decorative murals based on quilt block designs as markers to signal historical and other points of interest. The quilt blocks are painted on an eight foot square wooden frame hung on the side of a barn or farm building or set on free standing posts. The Southwest Ontario Barn Quilt Trails, which run through the Counties of Middlesex, Elgin, Oxford, Norfolk and Brant as well as the City of Brantford, tell the stories of the communities, families and events that comprise the region’s rich heritage.
