Millmont Farm is a historic home and farm complex located at Montgomery Township in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. The property includes the main house, a double log house, a stone and frame secondary dwelling, a large frame bank barn, and the site of a grist mill. The main house was built between 1798 and 1821, and is a 2-story, five bay stone dwelling with a 1 1/2-story rear wing. It has a vernacular Georgian plan. The property was owned by James Ramsey, whose granddaughters were the sisters Jane Irwin Harrison (1804–1846), daughter-in-law of and White House hostess for U.S. President William Henry Harrison, and Elizabeth Ramsey Irwin Harrison (1810-1850), mother of U.S. President Benjamin Harrison.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
