Fisher Homestead, also known as Cedarcroft Farm, is a historic home located near Lewes, in Sussex County, Delaware.[2] Dating to around 1850, it is a two-story, single-pile, center-hall plan dwelling with wood pilasters at the corners, designed in the Greek Revival style. It has a gable roof and is sheathed in cedar shingles. It has an original one-story, three bay rear wing, and a two-story wing raised to that height in the early 1900s.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
