Kimberton Village Historic District is a national historic district located in East Pikeland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The district includes 49 contributing buildings and 3 contributing structures in the village of Kimberton Village. The three original buildings listed in 1976, were the "Sign of the Bear" tavern (1768), Chrisman grist mill (1796, now post office), and French Creek Boarding School (1787, 1813).
