The William Soaper Farm is a Greek Revival agricultural complex in Henderson, Kentucky, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The 148.5-acre registered portion encompasses thirteen contributing buildings, a contributing structure, and a contributing site alongside two non-contributing structures. At the heart of the property stands the William Soaper Home, originally built around 1808 as a log dogtrot dwelling. The house underwent significant expansion in 1834, when the open passage was enclosed and a second story was added, transforming it into a formal I-house. The broader farm totals approximately 549 acres, making it a substantial example of early-nineteenth-century Kentucky agricultural architecture.
