The Gifford Farm is a historic farmhouse at 261 Cotuit Road in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The 1-1/2 story Cape style house was built c. 1850, and is an unusual local instance of a double house. Rather than having five bays, a traditional Cape organization, it has a pair of entrances flanked by pairs of windows. The house was probably built by Russell Hinckley; it was a major social center in the early decades of the 20th century, when it was owned by Lorenzo Gifford.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
