New Jersey Barn Quilt Road Trip photos - 2016
FYI:
This "map & website" was made
by the State in 2009
-- Photos after listing all the dead links --
| One day my wife wanted to try the barn quilt tour
as per this flier linked below. After many hours of travel and
hunting, and one you can't see. Here are a number of photos of these barns by using our GPS and instructions, which sometimes are not that accurate. |
This is very rural NJ (yes, out where I live), if you
want something to eat, just head for
Phillipsburg on Rt. 22. Everything is available. You may find
one or two of small stores as you drive around the area, or check your GPS or
smartphone.
The PDF file below has a listing of small stores you can stop at while on the
tour.

I guess they don't know how to forward a link ?
Plus NJ Highlands is named for an area down the shore, so be careful with searches !
As of June 2019
These are non HTTSP (secure sites)
http://barnquiltinfo.com
is an organization about Barn Quilts in the entire U.S.
NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
JOINS NATIONAL BARN QUILT PROGRAM
Dead link to NJBarnQuilts.com on a state page in 2009
Fixed: August 2024 after a few tries, I wrote to the
tech people.
Yet the link "Warren County Barn Quilt Trail"
goes to a
Japanese site ?
They changed the domain name again.... ?
There are two links for the NJ Somerset County Barn Quilts
Again the link
is wrong: The two correct links are below.
Boheim Farm Quilt
Shotwell Farm

This barn tour flier - I was able
to grab a copy from the old site
There are a few stops on the PDF not on the website, if it was working.

Locations and click link for nice information of sign
and the barn.
You better have a GPS or smartphone to find these.
If you are thinking of visiting the local artist
as stated on the above site (2018),
We mourn the loss of Dan Campanelli,
who passed
away on
May 24, 2017.
If you wish to visit another local and famous artist.
Clinton Falls Art and Framing - Clinton NJ
(now called Alchemist Art and Framing LLC in 2020)
has Bill Bell paintings
as well as some Campanelli (Dan and Paula)
And stop by in
Clinton, NJ
Nice stores, the famous "Red Mill" and photo opportunity.
Coffee and food stops.
There is one barn quilt you cannot see during any "green"
season.
It is hidden by trees and bushes from the roadway.
It faces Rt. 78 at the top of the ramp. There is no shoulder, so never got
a shot of it.
Maybe this winter ?
Most of these are just along the rural roadsides. So no problem finding a safe place to stop.

This is also a historical house. There are workshops held every once in awhile. So you can park in the driveway.  |

in a housing development.
