Notes:
Formerly known as the Charlie Riddle farm, the Clarks bought this farm twelve years ago. The farm is located across the North Fork of Triplett Creek near the old Johnson swimming hole where a lot of baptisms took place over the years. The barn was built in 1997 and was used as a tobacco barn.. Now it serves as a general purpose storage and equipment shed.

The Clarks knew they wanted a quilt block painted in our nation’s patriotic colors of red, white, and blue. Since a flag had already been used on a quilt square in the county, they searched the internet and found just the right pattern they wanted for their barn. The quilt square just happened to be installed on the same day as the Clarks 40th Wedding Anniversary and made for a very nice “unofficial” present.
