Oliver–Morton Farm is a historic tobacco farm complex and national historic district located near Oak Hill, Granville County, North Carolina. The Samuel V. Morton farmhouse was built about 1890, and is a two-story, three-bay, Italianate style I-house dwelling. It has a one-story rear ell. The Oliver House dates to about 1800, and is a 1+12-story brick-nogged heavy timber frame building. It is one of Granville County's oldest buildings, and was converted to a packhouse in the early 20th century. Also on the property are the contributing potato house, two sheds, striphouse, and corn crib.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
