The Cannon Farm is a historic farmstead at 5470 NW 37th Court in Bell, Florida. The main house is a vernacular wood-frame structure that was originally built in 1898 as a schoolhouse when the area was part of Alachua County. The 10-acre (4.0 ha) parcel includes, in addition to the main house, a sugar cane grinder dating to the turn of the 20th century, and a corn crib and sugar kettle shed dating to the early years of the farm, c. 1932. The complex is a well-preserved small rural farmstead.[2]

The farmstead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
