About
Hamorton Village is a National Register Historic District centered at the intersection of U.S. Route 1 and Pennsylvania Route 52 in Kennett Township, Chester County — a location that has functioned as a crossroads since Baltimore Pike was laid out around 1742. The district encompasses 75 contributing buildings constructed between 1780 and 1930 across three documented growth phases: the 1830s commercial village, an 1860s expansion, and a 1928–1930 planned extension in which Pierre S. du Pont engaged architect E. William Martin to design 18 detached Colonial Revival residences for upper-level Longwood Gardens employees — a master plan that called for 50 houses but was never fully built out. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, with a boundary increase in 2025, and is also historically significant as a documented center of abolitionist activity in 19th-century Chester County.
