Old Dry Road, also known as The Staudt Farm, is a historic home and farm complex located in Lower Heidelberg Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The farm is located on a branch of Tulpehocken Creek in the Blue Marsh Lake Recreation Area.

The property was first settled in 1744, and has a late-18th century "Speicher." It is a three-story, banked log building used for storage and preserving. Also on the property is a Georgian influenced log dwelling dated to 1770–1805.^[2]

The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.^[1]

Old Dry Road Farm is now operated as a living history farm museum. Programs are offered for school groups, and the farm complex is open to the public for special events.
