The Robertson Family Farm, in or near Whiteville, Tennessee, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It then included four contributing buildings and a contributing site.^[1]

It was deemed significant as a rare surviving example of a farm operated by the same African-American family for over 100 years. It was started by Crawford Robertson who was born a slave in Arkansas; it was operated in 2007 by grandson Evelyn Robertson with help of a cousin and a lessee.^[2]
