New Jersey Barn Quilt Road Trip photos - 2016
-- 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 !

If you wish to visit another local and famous artist.

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.  |
