Green Valley Historic District, National Historic District in Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States.
The Green Valley Historic District spans around 780 acres across East Marlborough and Newlin Townships, containing fourteen historic buildings and structures. The area displays a mix of agricultural buildings, mills, and houses from different periods of settlement history.
The district formed between 1780 and 1862, containing significant structures like Harvey's Mill, the William Hall log house, and the Green Valley School. These buildings reflect the gradual growth of farming and early industries in the region.
The buildings display Georgian and Federal architectural styles that visitors can recognize by their stone and log construction methods. These design approaches shaped the early settlements here and remain visible in each preserved structure.
Visitors can walk through the district to observe the preserved structures, with the Green Valley Farm serving as a main reference point. The layout is best explored on foot to understand how the different buildings relate to each other.
The district contains numerous limestone kilns that reveal the industrial work necessary for building and farming in this early settlement period. These kilns are often overlooked by visitors but show much about the local economy and craft techniques of the past.
