McDowell Quilt Trail
The McDowell County Quilt Trail Program is sponsored by the McDowell Arts Council Association. Their base of operations/studio is located in the McDowell House. The trail program began in June 2009 as part of a grassroots interest to extend the Quilt Trail of Western North Carolina to McDowell County. As work to establish quilt blocks between Nebo and Old Fort continues, the Quilt Trail Committee is actively seeking support from local organizations, businesses, and citizens.
