Levy County Quilt Museum in Chiefland, FL

    In 1983 eight ladies formed a quilt group.  Mary Brookins thought the group should have a name and maybe even name the group after a quilt block - the Log Cabin Quilters was formed.   By 1986 the ladies had decided they needed a place of their own rather than meeting in each other's homes.   The ladies worked hard to raise the money with yard sales, bake sales, quilt raffles, dinners and donations.  The building was completed and debt free by the early 1990's.  Most of the ladies were in their 60's and older. 


The Levy County Quilt Museum is the only quilt museum in the State of Florida. The museum has things from the past and interesting old quilts.


This was our 1st camping trip with the RV group from "On Top of the World", Tall Tale Traveler.
