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.
