Bridgham Farm is an historic farm in East Providence, Rhode Island. The farm consisted of 46.6 acres (18.9 ha) of land west of Turner Reservoir and east of Pawtucket Avenue. The main farmhouse, built in 1767,[2] now stands on Morra Way, a subdivision created out of some of the farm's lands. A portion of the farmland is now locally managed conservation land by the East Providence Land Conservation Trust.[3] A direct descendant of the family that received the original land grant from King George III, still lives on the property, Clive Willard Bridgham.

The farm was listed on the National Historic Register in 1980.[1]
