Star Barn Complex, Gothic Revival farm complex in Lower Swatara Township, Pennsylvania.
The Star Barn Complex includes eight agricultural structures featuring decorative elements such as louvered stars and ornate spires against white painted walls.
Colonel John Motter constructed the main barn in 1877, which operated as a horse facility before transitioning to dairy production until farming ceased in 1986.
The complex maintains its position on the National Register of Historic Places while serving as a venue for seasonal celebrations and community gatherings throughout the year.
The facility offers modern amenities including a commercial kitchen, changing rooms, and multiple event spaces that can accommodate large groups of visitors.
The entire complex underwent a complete relocation in 2015, with each piece carefully dismantled and reconstructed at Ironstone Ranch in Elizabethtown to ensure preservation.
