The Dreibelbis farm in Virginville, PA was founded in 1778 by Jacob B. Dreibelbis, son of the original family immigrant, John Jacob Dreibelbis. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the second oldest continuously owned family farm in Berks County.
The Dreibelbis Farm Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation, was formed to preserve and protect the historic farm and to make it available to the public for educational, historical, and environmental purposes. The Society has successfully mobilized volunteers since 1998 to preserve the buildings, antiques, and artifacts, and preservation efforts are ongoing.
