The John Palmer House, at 291 N. Burnham Hwy., Lisbon, Connecticut, is a Colonial style house that was built in 1790. It is now the location of the Heritage Trail Vineyards. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

The house is significant as a restored Cape Cod, colonial form house, and for association with John Palmer's involvement in dissent of the Great Awakening, a religious revival. Palmer was a preacher and a "Separatist leader from 1746 until his death c.1800". The artifact of the house offers "a rare glimpse into the cultural and political impact of the Great Awakening, which ultimately undermined the hegemony of the established Congregational Church in Connecticut."
