From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bear Tavern Road–Jacob's Creek Crossing Rural Historic District covers the farms along Bear Tavern Road north of its intersection with Jacob's Creek Road, as well as the bridge and intersection itself.

The district still reflects its 18th and 19th century patterns of development.[2]
