Beallsville Historic District is a 40-acre (16 ha) historic district in Beallsville, Pennsylvania. It is designated as a historic district by the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation.[2]

The district covers a "typical pike town" of the National Road through this area, meeting criteria laid out in a Multiple Property Submission study.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1] In 1996, there were 91 contributing buildings, 1 other contributing site (the Beallsville Cemetery), 1 other contributing object (a c.1835 National Road iron milestone marker), and 29 non-contributing buildings, in the district.[4]

In the western part of the district the buildings are largely vernacular with Greek Revival or Federal architectural influences showing in many, from the National Road era of 1818-1852. The eastern part of the district includes larger Italianate and Queen Anne style houses from later in the 19th century.[4]:5
