The May Farmstead is a historic farm property in rural eastern Newton County, Arkansas. It is located overlooking Cave Creek, off County Road 256 east of Bens Branch Church. The main house is a double-pen, one built out of logs in 1880, the other framed in 1910. The house is sheathed in weatherboard siding added after the construction of the second pen, and there is a full-width porch extending across the front (southeastern) facade. The property also includes a period barn and spring house. It is one of the best surviving examples of a late 19th-century farmstead in the region.^[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.^[1]
