County of quilt: Gasconade County
Location of quilt: Old Motel Rd. & US-50, Rosebud

As I pulled into Rosebud from the west along US-50 I saw this building. I pulled in and parked. Walked around. NO SIGN. Either on building on door or window.

A couple of wagons, a wagon wheel, and this shucker were on display outside. And a huge compose pile.

I am not sure if this is a museum about to open, or one that has ceased to be open. The building looks new, but you never know.


"The very first barn quilts were painted directly on the surface of the barn. Local artists were employed in painting the blocks, but the process was time consuming. Soon the method was changed, and painters began creating quilt blocks on wood, which was then mounted on the barns. A full-sized barn quilt is eight-by-eight feet, which requires two full sheets of plywood, mounted side by side. Many barn quilts are simply painted on plywood, which is first sanded and primed. More recently, barn quilt painters have been using MDO sign board, which is a bit more expensive but easier to work with, as the surface is smooth. The paint used is exterior latex or acrylic, the same type of paint that is used for houses. Once the design is drawn onto the boards, each section is outlined with painters’ tape and then painted with several coats." ~ Barn Quilt Info

Your Visit:
Notice this NEW pole barn, and with all the farm equipment on display thought it was a museum. Pulled it to get all the waymarking goodies.

No sign, not hours, and locked. Either a new museum not open yet, or one that closed it's doors, not sure.



Type of Barn: Not Sure.
