Discover the unique blend of art, culture, and community with Barn Quilts for Books in Craig County, Virginia. This inspiring initiative features over 50 painted barn quilts, each showcasing beautiful quilt patterns displayed on barns, fences, and outbuildings across the scenic landscape. Not only do these barn quilts beautify the area, but they also support the Craig County Public Library, raising funds to enhance educational and literacy programs.
Take a self-guided tour along the Barn Quilt Trail and explore each quilt’s design and story, while enjoying the stunning views of Craig County’s rural landscape. Maps for the trail are available online and at local spots like the Craig County Library and Visitors' Center in New Castle.
Since its launch in 2014, Barn Quilts for Books has raised over $15,000 for the library, strengthening its community ties and educational outreach. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a supporter of literacy, or looking for a scenic adventure, this project offers a memorable experience in Virginia’s countryside.
