Morse Farm is a historic farm property located in the village of Moravia in Cayuga County, New York. Its main building is a two-story, frame Federal style farmhouse. The house is in a "big house, little house, back house" configuration. Portions of the house reportedly date to 1794; the house was remodelled into essentially its present form about 1815. Also on the property is a 19th-century two-story barn with board and batten siding.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]

Its address in National Register registration was 53 South Main St. but the street has been renumbered; it located at what is now 52 South Main St.

A historic plaque identifies the original portion of the house, what is now the kitchen area, as the oldest in Moravia.
