Slack Farmstead is a historic farm complex and national historic district located at Mexico in Oswego County, New York. The district includes four contributing structures; the farmhouse, a dairy barn (1870), granary (c. 1850) and a hen house (c. 1910). Also on the property are a contributing stone wall, hand-dug well, and farm pond. The farmhouse is a five-bay, 1+12-story frame building with a gable roof built about 1838.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
