Kimberton Crossroads

June 20: Kimberton Crossroads
Sponsors: East Pikeland Historical Commission & Pikeland Historical Society

Tour Information: Signage will direct you to parking areas in and around Kimberton Village. To get started go to 2208 Kimberton Rd, Kimberton, PA. (This is the Kimberton Fair Grounds)

Kimberton crossroads forms the anchor for the sixty-two building Kimberton Village National Register Historic District. Today all four corners retain original structures constructed prior to 1797. The oldest is the Black Bear Tavern (aka ‘Sign of the Bear’) building, constructed some ‘many years prior’ to 1771 when a tavern petition was granted to Geo. Chrisman. The Chrisman grist mill c. 1796 is today’s village Post Office. The Kimberton Boarding School (a 1787 farmhouse enlarged into that school) is now home to the Station Bistro eatery as well as several residential apartments. The Kimberton Inn, originally built as a still house, continues to serve the beverages and fine cuisine to travelers as it has since c. 1796. East Pikeland is celebrating its 175th year in 2013!
