The Oliver Whiting Homestead is a historic farmstead on Old County Farm Road in Wilton, New Hampshire, just south of the County Farm Bridge. The principal significance of this 72-acre (29 ha) property is that it was used as Hillsborough County's poor farm between 1867 and 1896. The main focus of the property is a large Federal style brick house built c. 1800 by Oliver Whiting; it also has an 1846 Gothic Revival barn which predates the establishment of the poor farm.[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
