Good forArts & culture lovers
A driving trail of painted quilt-block murals mounted on barns, buildings, and fences across Washington Parish. Each 4-by-4-foot or 8-by-8-foot panel reproduces a traditional quilt pattern — many chosen by the property owners to honor family quilting traditions. The trail connects Franklinton, Bogalusa, Varnado, and the rural communities between them, turning the parish's back roads into an open-air folk art gallery. The Washington Parish Tourism Commission maintains the map and adds new blocks each year.
