MONROE COUNTY
Monroe County is a place full of lively creativity and small town rustic charm. Colorful murals adorn the streets, bringing stories to life, while topiaries and sculptures add artistic flair to the local public spaces. One of the county’s unique treasures is being apart of the Appalachian Quilt Trail, where quilt block patterns are displayed on barns and buildings, offering a scenic art experience as you travel through the countryside. From the murals to the countryside quilts, Monroe County’s art scene reflects its welcoming, creative spirit and rich local heritage.
