The Bacon Family Homestead is a 443.8-acre (1.796 km2) property in Mitchell County, Georgia which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
It is associated with Robert J. Bacon, Jr. (1880-1946), who helped establish Baconton's first "crackery", a pecan shelling plant, in 1919.
The homestead includes an early twentieth century rustic style house, a historic outbuilding, locations of several former outbuildings, historic landscape features, and a pecan grove on a narrow property that extends to the Flint River. The house is a one-story with unpainted board and batten siding. Carpentry detailing includes eaves that are boxed and returned.
