Rieser-Shoemaker Farm is a 'historic' farm complex and national historic district located in Bern Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. It has seven contributing 'buildings' and two contributing 'structures'. They are a 2 1/2-story, vernacular Federal brick farmhouse (c. 1820); stone Pennsylvania bank barn (c. 1820); a group of stone, brick, and frame outbuildings (c. 1820-1930); and a stone walled spring. The original land grant to Henry Reiser was in 1725. The farm is 'located' approximately 1/4-mile from the Rieser Mill.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
