Star Hill is a re-creation of a Texas Hill Country community typical of the early 1900s. All of the venue buildings are positioned on either side of our Main Street/Plaza, which is beautifully lit with overhead carnival lighting and uplighting into the surrounding landscaping and exterior of buildings. Our Main Street/Plaza is perfect for outdoor ceremonies and receptions, dinner parties, cocktail hours, games, and dancing, as well as tented events.

Films Featured

  • The Son (TV Series, 2017-2019)
    • In the first episode of The Son, the town close to the McCullough Ranch was shot on Main Street Plaza at Star Hill Ranch. Pete McCullough (Henry Garrett) brings a dead body to the sheriff, trying to find out if the man was a criminal or if someone killed him in cold blood. Pete walks down the dirt road passing the period buildings of the Main Street Plaza set, and goes into the saloon to interrogate the bartender, only to find that his father Eli (Pierce Brosnan) may be up to no good.
