David Davis Farm, also known as the Christian Summers Farm and John Martin Farm, is a historic farm and national historic district located at Earl Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The district includes seven contributing buildings and one contributing site. They include the farmhouse, a stone bank barn (c. 1780), spring house (c. 1800), two frame tobacco barns, a small frame shed (c. 1940), and family burial ground. The farmhouse is an evolutionary dwelling originally built as a two-story, stone building about 1750, and extensively remodeled in 1787. Stone and frame additions were made about 1815, about 1870, and about 1890. Attached to the house is a small frame summer kitchen with beehive oven, that was once a separate structure.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
