The Kimberton Village Historic District is a national historic district that is located in East Pikeland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
This district includes forty-nine contributing buildings and three contributing structures, which are located in the village of Kimberton Village. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, with a boundary increase in 1987.
The three original buildings that were listed on the National Register were the "Sign of the Bear" tavern (1768), Chrisman grist mill (1796, now post office), and French Creek Boarding School (1787, 1813). A boundary increase in 1987 expanded the district to include a variety of vernacular farmhouses, barns and other outbuildings, a grange hall, a former Quaker meetinghouse, a frame milk receiving station, and railroad station. The contributing structures are a dam and stone arch bridge.[1]
