Marshall County’s latest Indiana Bicentennial Legacy Project contribution will be unveiled during a ceremony this afternoon in downtown Plymouth. Marshall County Tourism coordinated the Marshall County Barn Quit Trail. It’s a series of large murals painted in a variety of quilt patterns on barns, businesses and public spaces throughout the county. Organizers say the trail celebrates the history of agriculture, the time-honored tradition of quilting, the community’s passion for art, community pride and Hoosier Hospitality. The trail features more than 75 quilts of various designs and colors.
The newest addition to the trail will hang on the Garro Street side of the Marshall County Museum, facing the Marshall County Visitor’s Center. Volunteers Thom and Connie Kleckner of Plymouth designed it as a tribute to Indiana’s Bicentennial and to commemorate the 19th state to join the union.
The 8’x8’ quilt will be unveiled at 1:30 p.m. Marshall County REMC mounted it on the side of the building.
