The Shriver Farmstead is a historic farm located on County Line Road northwest of Virden, Illinois. The farm consists of a historic farmhouse, barn, and smokehouse; it also includes several modern outbuildings and 2 acres (0.81 ha) of land. Owner John Ryan built the farm's original buildings from 1858 to 1860. The farmhouse has an Italianate design which features a front porch supported by square posts, paired brackets below the eaves, pilasters at the corners, and a projecting gable above the entrance. The barn, one of two built for the farm, has a New World Dutch-inspired plan which incorporates elements of several barn styles. Dr. William Shriver purchased the farm in 1890, and his family has owned the property since.^[2]

The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1980.^[1]
