The Star Barn is located in Middletown, Pennsylvania along Interstate 283. It was constructed in 1872 for Colonel John Motter, a wealthy banker, gentleman farmer, and horse breeder. Motter made his fortune selling horses to the Union Army during the Civil War. The barn is an example of Gothic Revival architecture. On all sides are the trademark louvered stars which give it the nickname "Star Barn."
