Fallsington Historic District

Fallsington Historic District preserves approximately 170 acres featuring buildings from the Colonial, Federal, and Late Victorian periods arranged across its landscape. The structures represent different architectural styles that developed over three centuries.

The district earned its National Register of Historic Places designation in 1972, which protected 62 buildings from further changes. This recognition documented the settlement's role in American history across multiple periods.

Quaker traditions shaped this place through multiple meetinghouses, with the oldest dating to 1790 and now serving as the William Penn Center. These structures reflect how religious communities influenced daily life and social practices over generations.

Guided tours take visitors through three preserved buildings including the Moon-Williamson Log House, Burges-Lippincott House, and Stagecoach Tavern. It helps to check ahead about opening times since not all buildings are accessible every day.

The district maintains its original crossroads layout from the 18th century positioned along the former Kings Highway. This old street pattern allows visitors to recognize how the original settlement was arranged.
