We are pleased to announce that as of July 2008 our barn is a host site for a Alcona County Quilt
Trail Project quilt block display! We now have a 8'x8' quilt block with the "North Star" design to commemorate
the life-saving work of
the
Underground Railroad which the state of Michigan and Quakers played major roles in.
We will have a small historical display featuring information about the history of the
Underground Railroad at our farm shop this summer. We are very grateful to the Hollyhock Quilt Shoppe in Harrisville, Michigan
for their founding and ongoing support of the Alcona County Quilt Trail Project, and their contribution to
the Underground Railroad historical display at Quaker Hill Farm.
