This railroad crossing quilt is appropriate for Adaza’s aging grain elevator. The town used to be a bustling railroad town known for its cattleyards; it is now home to a handful of people. Stories are told about the ladies in the Thursday Club who, back in the 1920’s, would dress in their finest and take the train from Adaza to Chicago for lunch then return home that afternoon. The “Railroad” quilt block can be found on E13 in the “middle” of Adaza; it is #7 on the Greene County Barn Quilt map.
Your Visit:
My husband’s cousin is the chairperson for the Greene County Barn Quilts, and it was a special thrill to have our own personal guided tour. Her special stories added a lot to our enjoyment of these barn quilts.
Type of Barn: Not Sure.
