Troth's Fortune, also known as Troth's Farm, is a historic home in Easton, Talbot County, Maryland, United States. It is a 1+12-story, two-room deep, gambrel-roofed dwelling with a medieval style stair tower and a richly detailed interior. The house has two 20th century frame wings. It was probably built between the years 1686 and 1710, and is a well-preserved example of late 17th century Maryland vernacular architecture.[2]

Troth's Fortune was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
