Rockland Farm, also known as Funk Farm or Davis House, is a historic home located at Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland, United States. It is a two-story, three-bay stone dwelling with white trim built in 1773. Also on the property is a log outbuilding and a 1+1⁄2-story stone tenant house built over a spring.[2]

Frisby Tilghman ([3]1773-1847) enslaved many people at Rockland, including abolitionist James W.C. Pennington [[1]], who escaped in October 1827.[4]
