Back Creek Farm is a historic home located near Dublin, Pulaski County, Virginia. It dates to the late-18th century, and is a two-story, five-bay, brick I-house with a side-gable roof. It has a two-story rear ell, sits on a rubble limestone basement, and has interior end chimneys with corbelled caps. The front facade features a pedimented tetrastyle Ionic order porch with an elegant frontispiece doorway with stop-fluted Corinthian order pilasters. Its builder was Joseph Cloyd (1742-1833). During the American Civil War, on May 9, 1864, the Battle of Cloyd's Mountain was fought on the property. The house served that day as a hospital and as headquarters for the Union General George Crook, under whose command were Captains Rutherford B. Hayes and William McKinley.
North of the house is the barn,: 6 a stone structure whose damage from Union artillery is still evident. This Pennsylvania barn is built of limestone of different sorts: many of the walls are rubble, while set above the basement windows are small arches of carefully prepared stonework.: 6
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
