Largest Quilt Barn Trail in Texas
The Fannin County Quilt Barn Trail is a local supported project to promote tourism in Fannin County
An online map for your ease of use while driving around the county is available. You can start anywhere in the county and follow the map to the next location.
Due to a limitation in the number of points that can be used on our online map at one time, we have broken the trail into two separate maps:
One quiltbarn trailfor the West side of the county and One for the East Side of the county
Choose your starting point below
West Side and East Side Will take you to an interactive map
West Side of the County - The Bonham Area
East Side of the County - The Honey Grove Area
The Trail below is a printable walking map for Downtown Bonham
Handout for all the Trails if you need a paper copy
