Applewood Farm is a farmstead in Ledyard, Connecticut constructed in 1826 by Russel Gallup and named after the apple orchards that he planted. The farmhouse was built with a colonial center chimney design with Federal style details. It has been modernized to the early 20th century without significantly changing the floor plan. Everett Gallup was the last member of the family to own the property, and he developed it significantly. The property was later owned by Arlene Meyer Cohen, and a 40-acre parcel was sold off in November 1984. The Betz family next became the owners, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places and operated as a bed and breakfast through the 1990s. In 1987, the property included five contributory structures: the farmhouse, corn crib, barn, silo, and chicken coop. The property also has a machinery shed from the 1960s.
