The City of Rogers celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2021! To coincide with the commemoration of this event, the Rogers Historical Museum and the Northwest Arkansas Modern Quilt Guild sponsored Quilt Quest Contest 2021 in search of the oldest quilts in Northwest Arkansas. 

While we had many great submissions and several honorable mentions, we could only choose one winner.
