You never need an extra excuse to take a ride around the lovely country roads of Connecticut, but here’s one anyway:
the New Milford Barn Quilt Trail. This trail passes eight farms and consists of eight colorful quilt patterns painted on large wood blocks and hung on antique and vintage barns around
New Milford. The trail is fun from explores and photographers and people who simply love the old barns. It honors the state’s agricultural history and the tradition of quilt making. Quilt blocks at 19 Wheaton Road, 44 Upland Road, 227 Merryall Road, 241 Litchfield Road (Route 202), 140 Park Lane Road, 173 Ridge Road, next to the farmhouse at 122 Ridge Road, and behind New Milford Town Hall at 10 Main Street. The barn quilt blocks are hung on private property and may be viewed only from public roadsides.[ Photo by Linda Pouder of Merryall Studio]
