'Painted Pathways' barn quilt trail in Minnesota opens to the public
The trail features hand-painted 4-by-4-foot quilt boards and an online map as organizers aim to boost agritourism.
- On Monday, June 1, the Painted Pathways barn quilt trail officially opened to the public in Douglas County, Minnesota, showcasing hand-painted art on rural properties.
- Cindy Haffner of Rose City launched the trail using a Minnesota State Arts Board grant, aiming to turn Douglas County yellow on barn quilt mapping websites.
- Each 4-foot by 4-foot aluminum board must be visible from a tarred public road, and property owners must sign a "kind of like a little contract" pledging at least 10 years of maintenance.
- A seven-member committee oversees the trail with each member covering a different township; residents interested in participation must sign up at the Douglas County Fair running August 19–22.
- "The object is agritourism, which is to get people out into the country," Haffner said, and visitors can explore barn quilt locations using an interactive Google Map.
