On many older American barns, particularly German farms, one could see a large decoration in the shape of a star minted on the face of the barn. Although they go back to at least 1820's in Pennsylvania, they were most popular after the American Civil war.
In modern times barn stars have come to be known as signs of good fortune and luck.
