Coshocton County Heritage Quilt Barns

SR 643 Trail

A project of the Coshoton County Arts and Culture Alliance

COSHOCTON COUNTY HERITAGE QUILT BARNS are a project of the Coshocton County Arts and Culture Alliance. Theresa Scheetz documents the quilts. The squares are painted by the community under the leadership of artists from the Art Asylum. And The Frontier Power Co. brings out their bucket trucks and men in hard hats to hang the squares on the barns. Interviews and graphic design are done in-house at the Pomerene Center.

The Coshocton County Heritage Quilt Barns tell a local history through the reproduction of old family quilt patterns and family stories.

The SR 643 Trail begins in New Bedford with its predominantly Amish population–winds through farm country maintained by horse powered farming traditions–passes between Roscoe Village (a herald of the industrial era) and Coshocton (a vital industrial era town)–and comes to an end at Clary Gardens with its 'green'/new age watering system. A delightful 22.2 mile drive through history!
