The Wilbor House is a historic house museum at 548 West Main Road in Little Compton, Rhode Island, and currently serves as the headquarters of the Little Compton Historical Society. The property includes eight buildings of historical significance, six of which were part of the Wilbor farmstead, a complex that was used for farming between 1690 (when the house was built) and 1955, when the property was acquired by the historical society. The house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, whose oldest portion was probably a stone ender built by Samuel Wilbor, and whose western half was added c. 1740, giving it a Georgian appearance. The five farm outbuildings all date to the 19th century.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
