Marion County Quilt Trail

Welcome to the Marion County Quilt Trail

The Marion County Quilt Trail is a portion of the “Clothesline of Quilts Trail” that runs throughout Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee. The Clothesline of Quilts Trail was created to draw tourists off the interstates and into rural areas to experience the region’s unique culture. The project involves painting quilt squares and murals of rural life on barns and other structures along the roadway.

Each “quilt square patch” must be at least 8-feet by 8-feet…and that means you can’t miss them. In the Heart of Kentucky the idea works great, because the Marion County Quilt Trail draws you into the wonderful, unique and colorful communities of Gravel Switch, Bradfordsville, Raywick, Loretto and more. And there are excellent places to dine and explore in each of those communities and along the way. Just remember, however: You are going to get to enjoy the wonderful experience of wandering country roads…some of them remote!
