Scamman Farm is a historic farmstead at Portsmouth Avenue in Stratham, New Hampshire. The farm was established by members of the Scamman family in the 1660s, and includes a barn dating to the mid-18th century, believed to be one of the oldest in the state, and a Greek Revival farmhouse dating to 1836. The property, now a subset of the family's original holdings, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.^[2]

A fire that began shortly before 11 p.m. on May 10, 2021, burned down one barn on the property and killed an estimated 300 chickens.^[3]^[4] Through the efforts of firefighters, the mid-18th century barn suffered only minor damage.^[5] Days later, the family stated that they would rebuild the barn that burned down.^[6]

The similarly named Scammon Farm Historic District, also located in Stratham and owned by a different branch of the family, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.^[7]
