The Silver Lake Farm is a historic farmstead on Seaver Road in northwestern Harrisville, New Hampshire. It consists of a traditional New England farm complex, with a clapboarded farmhouse that was built c. 1820, a poultry shed, two early 20th-century barns, and a modern tractor shed. It is sited on a meadow (former farmland now out of production) above Silver Lake, from which there are views of the lake and of Mount Monadnock. The farm was originally established by Paul Whitcomb Breed, whose family gave the lake its early name (Breed Pond). It was later owned by the Farwells and Seavers. Despite its active use until the 1970s, the farmhouse remained relatively unaltered, lacking even modern heating.[2]
The farmstead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
