This Painted Barn Quilt is located just south of Vittoria, Ontario on Highway 24. The quilt is mounted to a silo that is part of The Cider Keg.
"The Tisdale Mill located in Vittoria was not burned in 1814 as Thomas Bowlby a pioneer Mason from the district appealed to General McArthur, who was also a Mason to spare the mill because there was a large Masonic community in the area and this community would suffer if the mill was burned. Bowlby was successful in his appeal as the mill was spared. " (
