The Enterprise — Marcello Iaia

Centrally located: A newly mounted set of three quilt squares rests high above the sign beckoning drivers on Berne-Altamont Road through the Knox hamlet to the Saddlemire Homestead housing artifacts of Knox history. Jane McLean and John Elberfeld, husband and wife and members of the Knox Historical Society, are organizing to create a trail of the squares, modeled after quilt patterns, mounted on structures throughout the Hilltowns. Such trails exist in 45 other states and Canada, according to barnquiltinfo.com, which attributes the origin of the barn quilt to one made in Adams County, Ohio in 2001.
