This weekend, take a drive to Ravenna and enjoy Annevar! Be sure to stop by the Quilt Show to see the beautiful Buffalo County America 250 Barn Quilt Project tiles painted by the talented Sew Sisters and other community members.
Each tile represents a unique piece of our county's story and will become part of a stunning collaborative barn quilt celebrating America's 250th anniversary. Come be inspired by the creativity, craftsmanship, and community spirit on display!

Today we extend our heartfelt thanks to the Daughters of the American Revolution for their generous donation of a new flagpole at Trails & Rails Museum. This meaningful gift honors the memory of longtime volunteer and dedicated DAR member Dora Day, whose commitment to preserving our nation's history and serving our community left a lasting legacy.

We are deeply grateful for this beautiful tribute and for the continued partnership and support of the DAR in helping us preserve and celebrate our shared heritage.
