Bement-Billings House is a historic home located at Newark Valley in Tioga County, New York. It is a 1 ¹⁄₂-story clapboard farmhouse on a random ashlar stone foundation, exhibiting characteristic features of the Federal and Greek Revival styles. The house began as a one-room cabin, built about 1796, and evolved during the 19th century into the extensive 15-room, 30-by-46-foot (9.1 by 14.0 m) structure that exists today. The house underwent extensive renovation in 1977. Also on the property is a contributing privy.^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.^[1]

The house is now the centerpiece of the Bement-Billings Farmstead Museum, and is owned and operated by the Newark Valley Historical Society. The museum includes the mid-19th century period house, a reconstructed blacksmith shop, a threshing barn, wood shop, carriage shed and welcome center. Open seasonally on weekends, tours and craft demonstrations are provided by costumed docents.
