The Jenkins–Whelden Farmstead is a historic farmstead at 221 Pine Street in Barnstable, Massachusetts. It is one of Barnstable's best-preserved farm properties. The farm complex includes a c. 1840 house, an older 18th century house that is used as a toolshed, two barns, and several other small outbuildings. The current main house is a three-bay 1-1/2 story Cape cottage with Federal styling. The toolshed is believed to have been built by Thomas Jenkins (1666-1745), and was part of a larger house which was originally located on Church Street.[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
