WEITING FARM
The design was inspired by “Patriotic Cow,” by quilter Mary Henzel of Oberlin, Kansas, although the Wieting cow design is black and white, rather than the original brown. This is because the Wietings have maintained a dairy herd of black and white Holsteins at the farm for more than 40 years. The English-style barn was rebuilt in the 1920s after a fire, when it was part of the Carlson Farm. The current barn was built on the same footprint and incorporates some surviving timbers of a barn possibly from the 19th century.

LARSON BARN
This massive English-style bank barn built by Frank Larson in 1900 served one of the valley’s largest dairy operations. Larson, a native of Sweden, grew corn and tobacco along with maintaining a large dairy herd. The Larson family adapted to changing times in local agriculture for almost a century, surviving into the 1990s on the strength of their famous sweet corn, which they started selling in 1957 at their Route 7 farm stand. It is commemorated in the quilt block’s ear of corn design. Artifacts found during construction of the high school suggest that Native Americans occupied this area up to 8,000 years ago. The Larson barn has been listed on Connecticut’s State Register of Historic Places since 2006.

SULLIVAN FARM
This barn quilt block design, adapted from a popular 1880 design, highlights maple syrup production, one of several agricultural products produced there today. High school and college students tap maple trees throughout southern Litchfield County in late winter, producing maple syrup at the on-site sugarhouse. The landmark barn, on which the barn quilt block is hung, was built in 1869 by William Sullivan. He was the great-grandfather of Jake Sullivan, who sold the dairy farm to the town, stating in the deed that the farm always be used to benefit the community. Today, young interns at the repurposed farm grow a wide range of produce that is sold at the on-site farm stand, through area farmers markets and in local specialty grocery stores.

SMYRSKI FARM
The quilt depicts a solid eight-pointed star in its center with stylized maple leaves in each corner. The design symbolizes sugar maple trees tapped for syrup there. A dairy operation until the mid-1980s, the farm is named for Adam Smyrski, who emigrated from Poland in the early 1900s. It was donated to the Northwest Connecticut Land Trust, Connecticut’s largest land trust, in 2008 by the last remaining Smyrski children. The 220-acre property produces hay, livestock and maple syrup and hosts environmental education programs.

OLD TOBACCO BARN, Town Hall
Former Mayor Patricia Murphy, a longtime quilter and the original advocate of the New Milford Barn Quilt Trail, chose the quilt block design from Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns. Architectural details on the small barn suggest that this mid-to-late 19th-century structure was used in part for warehousing tobacco, a major industry in Connecticut at that time. These include reinforced posts under the summer beam, a boarded-up trapdoor that may have been used as an opening for a hoist, and shouldered supports that would have distributed the weight of the 300- to 500-pound cases of packed tobacco stores on the second floor.

The Merryall Union Evangelical Society Chapel is a historic church building on Chapel Hill Road in New Milford, Connecticut. Built in 1890, it is the town's best example of Carpenter Gothic architecture. It is used in the summertime for services by visiting ministers of diverse denominations, and hosts weddings and other private functions. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Referred to as the Merryall Chapel, it stands in a rural setting about 4 miles north of the center of New Milford, on the west side of Chapel Hill Road. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a steeply pitched gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A square tower projects from the center of the street-facing front facade, rising to a pyramidal roof and fleur-du-lis finial. The entrance is in the base of the tower, topped by a lancet-arched panel. Lancet-arch windows line the side walls. The interior is decorated in a Victorian style, with spindle-backed chairs for seating of the congregation, and a raised platform at the rear serves as the altar, furnished with velvet armchairs and couch. The Merryall Union Evangelical Association was founded in 1884 as a vehicle to provide Sunday School education to children in the area. The present chapel was an outgrowth of that organization, which expanded to offer regular services to local residents, who would otherwise have to make the sometimes difficult journey to the town center for services. Services were typically provided by traveling ministers or ministers from other area churches, and were usually non-denominational. About 1900, care of the building fell to a local sewing club, and services were regularly offered during the summer, bringing in summer residents of the area. A new nonprofit was established in the 1970s to oversee maintenance of the building.

The library had humble beginnings, initially housed in the homes of private citizens in the 1790s. A century later, it had its own building that featured Memorial Hall, a second-floor room initially set aside to honor the town’s Civil War veterans. It turned into a civic meeting place as well, especially for the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization that fought for numerous causes, including voting rights for African Americans and veterans pensions. Today, a major renovation is underway that will marry the library’s storied history with state-of-the-art facilities to meet 21st-century living. A connector will link the original 1890s stone Richardsonian Romanesque Revival-style building with its 1970s addition, and a new high-tech collaborative makerspace will cater to those interested in robotics, 3D printing and STEM learning. Memorial Hall, which can hold 155 people, will once again double as a community meeting place. A grand reopening is planned for January 2022.

LILLIS FARM
The quilt block, with its eye-catching North Star quilt square design, hangs on a white barn that originally housed workhorses. The year 1929 appears on two of the doors, indicating when the barns were rebuilt with older foundations from the site. A nearly identical dairy barn stands a few hundred feet to the south. The farm they served belonged to the Baldwin family in the early 19th century, when the barn foundations probably were built. Albert N. Baldwin, who lived here his whole life, was an early 19th-century state legislator known for his work on prison reform. The farm is no longer actively worked.
The New Milford Barn Quilt Trail consists of 19 colorful quilt patterns hand-painted on large weather-resistant blocks and hung on antique and vintage barns and historical buildings around our town. It honors our rich agricultural history, the exciting resurgence of family farms in New Milford today and the American tradition of quilt-making. It is the first barn quilt trail established in Connecticut. Already, over 40 U.S. states, including New Hampshire and New York, boast quilt trails in a rapidly expanding movement that began in Ohio in 2001. Get in your car or jump on your bike and use any mobile device to access this site as you visit these barn quilt block sites. Please use caution as you drive, bike or walk along the country roads of the barn quilt trail. Remember that the quilt blocks are displayed on what is often private property and can be viewed only from public roadsides. Responsibility for any accidents while observing the quilt blocks rests entirely with the viewer.
The land for this wooden structure was purchased in 1862. Originally it held classes for 1st through 8th grade, and in its later years contained grades one through six. It was shut down as part of the consolidation of New Milford schools, and after 1955 Northville students traveled to schools in the center of town. In 2002, Mr. Truman Richmond recalled that when he attended in the 1920’s, the schoolroom was surrounded by blackboards and students sat facing the teacher’s desk which was located on a raised platform in the front of the room. The desks varied in size, with the smallest at the very front of the room near the teacher’s desk. A round woodstove in the front of the teacher’s desk heated the building. At the buildings’ entrance, the boys’ cloakroom was on the left and the girls’ on the right. For bathrooms, students were excused to use unheated outhouses behind the school. Older students usually performed daily chores, such as fetching water from a spring, chopping wood for the stove, and sweeping floors. the northville one room school houseFor many years the Northville Volunteer fire Company used the building for storage. The town owns the schoolhouse now and the Northville Schoolhouse Committee oversees its maintenance and use.

A hike through Sega Meadows Park will bring you near the Old Boardman Bridge, the longest (at 188 feet) of Connecticut’s three surviving lenticular truss wrought-iron bridges. The Berlin Iron Company of Berlin, Connecticut, built the span over the Housatonic River in 1887-88, adorning it with several ornamental touches: latticework, winged orb finials and floral motifs above the portals. The bridge was named after the Boardman family, who descended from New Milford’s first minister. It helped connect local farmers, nearby lime quarries and a workers village that had its own school, store and train stop. The New Milford Trust for Historic Preservation donated an informational sign in 2018 that’s posted at the west end of the bridge. A painting of the bridge, done in the 1970s by renowned New Milford artist Woldemar Neufeld, hangs in Town Hall. Though long closed to foot and vehicular traffic, efforts are ongoing to restore and reopen the bridge to pedestrians.

HUNT HILL FARM, The Silo
A country cultural and culinary nonprofit is housed in a repurposed 19th-century bank barn. It was founded in the early 21st century by famed bandleader Skitch Henderson and his wife, Ruth, with a mission of “cultivating love of the land, food and the arts.” The red heart on the upper left corner of the barn quilt block symbolizes love; the flower in the upper right corner, the land; the basket of fruits and vegetables in the lower left corner, food; and the artist’s palette and musical notes in the lower right corner, the arts. The 137-acre farm was established by the Hendersons in the 1970s by combining two farms formerly owned by the Hine and Buckingham families.
