Jacob and Hannah Leverton House, also known as the Dyott Farm, is a historic home located at Linchester, near Preston, in Caroline County, Maryland, United States. It is a two-story side-passage-plan brick house with a gable roof constructed in the first quarter of the 19th century. A two-bay, two-story frame wing was built in 1968 to replace the original 1 12-story wing. It was the home of Jacob and Hannah Leverton, Quakers, who were agents of the Underground Railroad.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]
