The David and Catherine Driver Farm is a historic farmstead in rural Rockingham County, Virginia, near Timberville. The main house, a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, was built c. 1845 and has Greek Revival styling. It was extended in the 1880s, giving it a T-shape and adding Victorian details such as bull's eye window in the front gable. The farm's most notable building is a c. 1839 barn, a rare survivor of the Valley Campaigns of 1864 through the area, in which the Union Army under General Philip Sheridan destroyed most barns.[2]

The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
