Star Hill is not just a venue; it’s a carefully crafted tribute to the early 1900s Texas Hill Country community, brought to life through the vision and passion of its owner and creator, Adam Woolley. Born from childhood dreams and inspired by the historic German immigrant settlement of Industry, Texas, Star Hill is a collection of meticulously restored buildings from various corners of the state. At its heart lies the Pontotoc Chapel, a historic gem that has been the backdrop for countless worship services and weddings since its relocation to Star Hill in 2004.
The realization of years of planning, renovating, and learning, Star Hill serves as more than a nostalgic journey; it is a living testament to the preservation of historic structures, allowing visitors to honor their heritage while creating new and memorable experiences. Founded by native Austinites and fifth-generation Texans, Adam and Matt Woolley, the brothers bring a shared love for history to Star Hill. Adam, with a background in Architectural Engineering, left corporate life to create this haven, while Matt, with over two decades of experience in Operations, Sales, and Marketing, joined the venture in 2014. Star Hill Ranch is not just a venue; it’s a heritage-driven space where the past meets the present, inviting all to explore and appreciate the rich tapestry of Texas history.
