Franklin County Kansas Quilt Block Tour

Franklin County Kansas Quilt Block Tour The Franklin County Quilt Block Tour was the first organized quilt block tour in Kansas. The tour has grown to more than 30 quilts throughout the county.

The Franklin County Quilt Block Tour began in 2010 with support from the Franklin County Quilt Block Committee and the Franklin County Convention & Visitors Bureau. The purpose of the tour is to showcase the rural areas of the county and highlight the farms, ranches, crops and livestock while educating the public of the importance of agriculture -- economically and historically -- in the area. The

landowners participating in the program realize the importance of telling their stories about agriculture, as well as history, on the farm -- where it all happens.
