Kurtis and Kella Gregory 1509 E. Hwy. WW, Marshall

Richard and Carol Raynor 29117 E. Hwy. 240, Marshall

Barbara and Robert James 34188 E. Hwy. 240, Slater

This barn sits on the north side of Highway WW just past the Great Circle Campus.

The Raynors’ barn was one of the first to join the tour in Saline County. Carol says they chose the Farmer’s Daughte r pattern because their farm has been passed down through the generations to daughters. “My mother inherited the farm, and then I inherited it. I have four daughters, and I will leave the farm to them,” she says.

Barbara says it was seeing the quilt squares on other barns that inspired her to participate in the program. They chose the Farmer’s Fields pattern because they liked it and because Robert has been a farmer his entire life.

16. Farmer’s Wife

17. Country Farm

18. Santa Fe Wagon Trails

Eugene and Vickie Hinnah 36354 E. Hwy. 240, Gilliam

V. Elaine Osborn 22264 Hwy. D, Hardeman

Robert Thompson Hwy. AC, 1 mile north of Arrow Rock

Elaine says they chose the Country Farm pattern “because it just sounded appropriate.” “We raise corn and soybeans, and we’re right out here in the middle of the country,” she says. Visitors often come by or stop to take pictures. “I think it’s a great way for people that might be passing through, to give them something to do,” she adds.

Robert Johnson, who owned the barn when it became part of the barn quilt project, says he agreed to participate when asked because of his late wife. When shown the design options and what they stood for, Robert says he selected Farmer’s Wife as a tribute to his wife.

This barn block is on the barn that sits on the Santa Fe Trail just north of Arrow Rock.
