Shenandoah County Farm, also known as the Shenandoah County Almshouse and Beckford Parish Glebe Farm, is a historic almshouse and poor farm located near Maurertown, Shenandoah County, Virginia. The almshouse was built in 1829, and is a large, brick Federal style institutional building. It consists of a two-story, five-bay central section flanked by one-story, eight-bay, flanking wings. A nearly identical building is at the Frederick County Poor Farm. A two-story, rear kitchen wing was added about 1850. Also on the property are the contributing stone spring house, a large modern frame barn (1952), a frame meat house (1894), a cemetery, and a portion of an American Civil War encampment site, occupied by Union troops prior to the Battle of Tom's Brook.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]

It was destroyed by fire in the early morning of April 13, 2014.[4]
