Holt Farm is a historic farm built in 1708 and located at 89 Prospect Road in Andover, Massachusetts.

The first Holt in Andover was Nicholas Holt, who was an early officer of the town. Despite evidence that Nicholas himself was barely literate, his descendants became known for their academic accomplishments with a long line of ministers and teachers.
