Americana Quilt Barn Trails and Grist Mills are Picture Perfect

Quilt barn trails are a slice of Americana. They are dotted across the United States from Washington and Oregon, following the settlers of the west to America’s farms and bread basket in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and in the southern states too. Per Wikipedia 43 states have quilt barn trails. Below are quilt patch barns located in Washington State; along the Quilt Barn Ellensburg Trail, unique barns on the East Coast and a iconic Mabry Grist Mill. Images by Jolly Sienda Photography.
