Sunbury is one of the oldest communities in central Pennsylvania and serves as the county seat of Northumberland County. The city originated near the Native American village of Shamokin, an important settlement located at the confluence of the North and West Branches of the Susquehanna River. Fort Augusta was established in 1756 to protect settlers during the French and Indian War. In 1772, Sunbury was officially laid out and became the county seat due to its strategic location along major transportation routes. During the nineteenth century, the city developed into a commercial and industrial hub for the region, benefiting from river traffic, railroads, and manufacturing. Sunbury gained international attention in 1883 when Thomas Edison demonstrated his three-wire electric lighting system at the City Hotel, making it one of the earliest examples of practical electric lighting in the world. Today, the city maintains its historic character while serving as a regional center for business, recreation, and tourism. Learn more through the City of Sunbury website and Wikipedia.

• Built for Central Pennsylvania weather. Sunbury gets cold winters, wet springs, and humid summers. A custom barn lets you spec the ventilation, insulation, and drainage that actually fits the Susquehanna Valley climate, instead of working around a design made for somewhere else.
• Your property, your layout. Every piece of land is different. A custom build accounts for your lot size, slope, and how you actually move horses and equipment around your farm, rather than forcing a standard footprint onto a site it wasn’t designed for.
• The right stall count for your herd. Off-the-shelf barn kits come in fixed sizes. A custom barn is built around the number of horses you have now and gives you the option to plan for expansion down the road.
• Storage and utility are built in from the start. Tack rooms, hay lofts, wash stalls, crossties, electrical, water lines: these work best when they’re planned into the structure, not added on later as an afterthought.
• Adds real value to your property. A well-built horse barn in Northumberland County is an asset, not just an expense. It makes your property more useful and more attractive to future buyers who share the same needs.
