Visit our Exhibit at the January, 2009 Pennsylvania Farm Show

Agrarian Country, Pennsylvania’s future premier showcase for agriculture and owner of the 1872 historic Star Barn complex, is pleased to announce that it will be sharing an exhibit with award-winning model builder, Terry Spahr, at the January, 2009 Pennsylvania Farm Show. In 2005, Terry completed a detailed 1:12-scale replica of the historic 1872 Star Barn. In November, 2008, Terry completed 1:12-scale replicas of The Star Barn’s outbuildings; namely, the corn crib, poultry barn, and hog barn. One example of the painstaking detail showcased in these replicas is the 15,000 individual roof shingles built on The Star Barn model. Terry first exhibited The Star Barn complex replicas in Dyersville, Iowa at the November, 2008, National Toy Show where he won second place in competition. Following is a photograph of the replicas of The Star Barn complex.

You will not want to miss seeing these spectacular Star Barn complex replicas – their first showing in Pennsylvania and a great photo opportunity. You will also have opportunity to learn about Agrarian Country and its plans for The Star Barn complex.

The Farm Show begins on Saturday, January 10 and will continue through Saturday, January 17, 2009. Our exhibit is located in the Farm Show Expo Hall (adjacent to the Food Court) in Booth 115. For more information about the 2009 Pennsylvania Farm Show, click here.
