The Col. James Barrett Farm (Barrett's Farm) is an historic farm at 448 Barrett's Mill Road in Concord, Massachusetts. It was reputed to have a cache of the town of Concord's Militia gunpowder, weapons and two pair of prized bronze cannon, according to secret British intelligence. On the morning of April 19, 1775, the British Regulars were ordered by General Thomas Gage to march from Boston to the town of Concord, about 20 miles inland, and seize the cannon and raid the arsenal at the provincial farm, which led to the Battles of Lexington and Concord that began the American Revolutionary War.

The farm was built in 1705 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The farmhouse was in disrepair and is being restored.

In March 2009, Congress passed legislation to add Barrett's Farm to Minute Man National Historical Park.^[2] Save Our Heritage is the current owner of the house.
