We are excited to partner with Visit Wausau: Wausau/Central Wisconsin CVB to introduce a Barn Quilt Revival project we'd like to kick off annually!
6 applicants will be granted a free barn quilt to either create their own barn quilt for their farm OR restore their old one. Any Marathon County farm can apply. The application will open up in April to attendees of the presentation by RISE UP Central Wisconsin on the History & Design Meaning of Barn Quilts.
Through the rest of Spring, we'll work with awarded applications on the genealogy of potential past designs for their family farm or create new designs based on the meaning and purpose of their farm.
We plan to grow Marathon County's barn quilts each year to have a full Barn Quilt Tour that Visit Wausau can provide!
The community will be invited to help paint the applications barn quilt and come together to support these local farm owners!
Thanks to the generous volunteer, Robert's Residential & Rental Repairs, LLC, and other volunteers; barn quilts will be installed in July 2025!
