The Humboldt County Barn Quilt Committee is a group of volunteers working to encourage the placement and promotion of large painted quilts attached to historical farm buildings in Humboldt County. Objectives are to preserve Humboldt County’s farm and cultural history, promote agri-tourism, stimulate economic development of rural communities and increase appreciation for our rural heritage. The committee has worked to display quilts on old barns and farm buildings in highly visible places on hard surface roads at strategic locations across the county, assist building owners with quilt pattern selection, design and painting, and, as resources permit, help share cost of materials and painting for sponsored quilts.
