Barn Lady
Evelyn Johnson’s Quilt Barn Project
By Samantha Tengelitsch 9/14/09
Author Evelyn Johnson became interested in barns when her children purchased an old barn on Old Mission in 2002. “I thought I’d research the barn and surprise them with its history.”
That research spurred Johnson’s passion for barn preservation and lead her to write the book, “Barns of Old Mission Peninsula,” published in 2006. Following publication of the book, Johnson knew she wanted to do more.
“I had heard of these Quilt Barn Trails in Kentucky and Ohio,” so on a trip down to Natural Bridge State Park in Kentucky, Johnson convinced her friends to head off the beaten path.

On the farm: a season for healing
Other Opinions
As a child, my family lived across from a cherry orchard that stretched out before our house in all directions. It swallowed the land and touched the horizon. I found endless fascination in watching tractors and workers weaving in and out of rows, moving around the evenly spaced trees dotted with blossoms in the spring and
vibrant red cherries in the heat of summer.
