Hardy County Barn Quilt Trail


Visit Hardy is pleased to support the Lost River Education Foundation’s Hardy County Barn Quilt Trail as a part of LREF’s mission to showcase the rural history and culture of Hardy County. The Barn Quilt Trail enhances understanding of our Appalachian heritage, recognizes the contributions of rural women, and increases interest in our region’s rich culture and history.
The Hardy County Barn Quilt Trail is a project of the Lost River Educational Foundation, Hardy County Tour & Craft Association, and Hardy County Convention & Visitors Bureau (Visit Hardy). To view the Quilt Gallery, Quilt Map, and the Hardy County Barn Quilt Trail guidelines and application visit their website.
Matching grants are offered by Visit Hardy to Hardy County residents and businesses to encourage expansion of LREF’s program by supporting the creation of new barn quilt paintings. The application is available on our Grant Information page
