Grundy County was the first county in Iowa to start the painted barn quilt project, a rural art form that has caught on to create more than 60 unique quilts. The idea started in 2003 to lure tourists into their area. Alliant Energy agreed to mount them at no cost to the owner. It is not unusual to see bus tours or private motorists slowing down or stopping at one of these colorful farms.
The owners of this farm lived here only a year before joining in the painted barn quilt fun. The big white barn which holds the quilt was constructed in 1910 and used for horses, chickens and hay. “Jack In the Pulpit” is #47 on the quilt tour map and is found on 205th Street just northwest of Holland.
