This former tobacco farm has been in the Burton family for 130 years. The quilt square is seen on the side of log barn that has been covered in tin and was used as a pack house for storing tobacco. Current owners John and Peggy Burton are active in the Museum and Archives of Rockingham County (MARC)—the county’s history museum that is housed in the old Rockingham County Courthouse. The design for the square mimics the star pattern in the mosaic tile floor seen in the old courthouse. They chose this design to help promote the MARC and reflect Rockingham County’s nickname as North Carolina’s North Star.
