Lewis Highsmith Farm, also known as Sweet Liberty, is a historic home and farm complex located near Harrells, Sampson County, North Carolina. The house was built about 1840, and is a large two-story, double pile, Federal style frame dwelling with a gable roof. The front facade features a full-width, two-tier front porch. The interior follows a hall-and-parlor plan. Also on the property are the contributing log smokehouse, the former kitchen, the gable roofed barn, and a nearby cluster of four tobacco barns.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
