GRAYSON COUNTY
KENTUCKY QUILT LINKS
outes throughout the countryside instead of
traveling along the interstate by placing painted quilt squares on highly
visible barns and other structures. Other benefits of the project
include history, culture, arts, education and beautification of the area.
Partnering with the Cooperative Extension Service and RECC's, the RC&D council is working to develop quilt trails throughout the six county RC&D area. The counties include: Breckinridge, Bullitt, Grayson, Hardin, LaRue and Meade. Once the quilt trails begin to be developed, the RC&D will assist with the development of a marketing brochure and website to promote tourism.
Long range plans include working with other RC&D areas to develop a "quilt trail" along the US 60 corridor throughout the state. In Eastern Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio, groups have been working on an Appalachian Heritage "quilt" trail for approximately two years.
