Welcome to the Cedarburg Spur Fiber Arts Trail

A delight of fiber arts exploration, the Cedarburg Fiber Arts Trail is a gathering place of vibrant, diverse, creative and innovative fiber artists who value the tradition of making and are a part of the resurgence of textile arts. Spend a day or a weekend with us and visit fifteen Trail members including the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts, the Cedarburg Woolen Mill, the Grafton Arts Mill, quilt shops, an award-winning art gallery and award-winning studio artists.

Historic mills, stone buildings and meandering creeks and rivers describe Cedarburg, Grafton and Thiensville, Wisconsin. While all three villages are snug as bugs and within ten miles of each other end to end, each place has its own character. Cedarburg’s iconic downtown is the jewel tucked in the middle. Charming gift shops, whimsical garden stores, an old-fashioned stationery store and even the local insurance agency gets dressed up in a stone building. Two each — chocolate shops, wineries and historic bed and breakfast inns.

Whether you are from the area, a first-time visitor or a regular, the Cedarburg Spur Fiber Arts Trail offers inspirational exhibits, fun events, learning opportunities and a place that feels like home. Are you ready to explore? Located about 20 miles north of Milwaukee, in and around the small historic town of Cedarburg, the Cedarburg Spur is the first Midwest Fiber Arts Trail!

Take a weekend with family and friends or slow down and spend time reviving your creative spirit. With the Cedarburg Spur Fiber Arts Trails you and your fellow fiber travelers will have the fun and opportunity to make lasting memories and even make some new friends.

Head over to PJ Piper Pancake House on Washington Ave. Looking for fast food that’s both healthy and yummy? Try Out & Out Eatery and Catering. If you have a little longer to linger, get a table at The Stilt House or Anvil Pub & Grill. Both are very good.

The Ozaukee Interurban Trail is a 30-mile stretch of paved bike path that runs the length of Ozaukee County and you guessed it — right through all three villages. Here are a few more suggestions:

The Cedarburg Chamber is a great resource for activities and travel ideas!  Please remember to contact Trail members prior to your visit!
