Barn stars date back to the 1830's in Pennsylvania and were thought to be a sign
of good fortune and luck to many farmers, particularly the German people.
Crafter's painted barn stars directly onto the barns and later built them into the
barn walls making the star part of it.
Later crafter's began to make them separate from the barn by making
them from wood.
Today they are made of steel and have become popular for interior and exterior decorating. Many prefer to allow them to rust by leaving them unpainted.
They are now in the process of being made out of galvanized steel so that they will
last for generations to come.
