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.
This rural Reinbeck farm has lots for visitors to see. In addition to their cattle production, the owners have added a small elk herd to their farm. The original 3-legged windmill and an old schoolhouse also occupy some of their land. This great “Flying Geese” quilt was mounted on the red double sided corn crib in 2007. It is #37 on the quilt tour map and can be viewed on 215th Street a few miles directly north of Reinbeck.
