Elm Farm is a historic farm property at 599 Main Street (New Hampshire Route 111A) in Danville, New Hampshire. It consists of an 85 acres (34 ha) parcel of land extending from Main Street to the Sandown town line, and includes agricultural fields, orchards, woodlands, and ponds. The main structures of the farm complex are located near Main Street, and were probably built between 1840 and 1880. They include a 2-1/2 story farmhouse with Greek Revival and Gothic Revival features, which is attached by a series of two ells to a three-story stable. South of this grouping is a set of outbuildings, including a second stable, cow barn, carriage barn, equipment shed, and hen house. The property has been in agricultural use since at least 1835. The farmhouse is distinctive in the town as one of its only examples of Gothic architecture.[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
