Quilt Barn Tour

A Patchwork Path Through Athens County


There’s no better way to tour the hills of Athens County than the Quilt Barn Tour. Your mission – to see over 20 historic quilt barns. Your reward? Spectacular views of the Appalachian hill country.


You’ll be looking out for the next historic Quilt Barn and you’ll discover a winding creek, a field of wildflowers, a spectacular overlook or a covered bridge. Pack a picnic and don’t forget your camera. Choose between the 45-mile Applique Loop, the 45-mile Stitch Loop, or take the 55-mile Quilter's Loop.
