The Martin Homestead is a historic farmstead on U.S. Route 3 located 3 miles (5 km) north of North Stratford, New Hampshire. The main house of the farm is a well preserved 1.5 story plank-framed Cape house. The house may have been built c. 1830 by Joseph Martin, after he acquired the property in a tax sale, or it may already have been standing there. Although it has had some alteration, including a complete rebuilding of its central chimney, the house is the best-preserved period Cape in Stratford. The 112.5-acre (45.5 ha) farm property also includes an "English" barn that appears to be contemporary to the house.[2]
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
