Barn Quilt Info
|
This farm has been in the Untiedt family since 1925 when it was purchased by Rudolph and Alice Untiedt. The original hollow tile barn, located on Beckman Street, was built in 1925, and the surrounding shed was added in 1956. It was originally used as a dairy barn, and is now used for livestock. The two “Arrowheads” quilt blocks were painted and mounted here in August of 2005. This particular design was chosen in honor of owner Charlotte Zern’s grandson Toby Morrow, who is an archaeologist, and who spent many hours searching for arrowheads and other artifacts on this land and surrounding areas. |
