Crawford's Experiment Farm, in Williston, Tennessee, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The listing included three contributing buildings and a contributing structure.

The residence on the property has evolved from an original c.1850 three-bay frame house, with elements of Greek Revival style. An 1867 modification added two bedrooms and an east gallery to the main house. Others are:

  • Kitchen (c. 1850)
  • Doctor's Office (1867), built by William Harrison Crawford
  • Crib (c. 1850), board and batten on brick piers
  • Barn (1940), a large, tin, hay barn later converted into a horse barn.

It has also been known as Pleasant Retreat, as Walker Farm, and as Crawford Farm, and is located at the junction of Hotel St. and Old Somerville-Williston Rd.

It is included in the Williston Historic District, also listed on the National Register.
