Woodbridge Farm is a historic 150-acre property in Salem, Connecticut developed by Nathaniel Woodbridge in 1791. The property has remained in the same family for most of its history, with the exception of a 50-year span when it was sold outside the family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
