LeRoy Barn Quilt Trail

LeRoy, NY 14482

The barn quilts of LeRoy began as a bicentennial project for the Town of LeRoy. The first quilt, “JELL-O Jigglers,” was painted in July 2011 at the annual Oatka Festival. The goal was to have 24 quilts painted and erected for LeRoy’s Bicentennial event on June 8, 2012. In less than ten months, over 70 barn quilts were near completion.

Since then, more quilts have been added and have come to represent the pride shared by the people of LeRoy, a town with a rich agricultural heritage and a vision for the future that will guarantee the quality of life for generations to come.

The Town of LeRoy welcomes you to discover over 100 scenic hand-painted barn quilts. Many quilts are on barns, but some residents have applied their creativity to the sides of sheds, garages, fences, homes, and other outbuildings.

In 2019, a giant purple and yellow barn quilt was placed inside the Village Hall to commemorate Delia Phillips, the first woman in LeRoy to vote in an election after New York State passed women's suffrage in 1917. In 2021, over a dozen LeRoy’s barn quilts were displayed inside the Town Hall.

Each year, more barn quilts are added to LeRoy’s barn quilt trail, making it one of the largest in New York State.
