Peachcroft, sometimes referred to as the James Wilson Brown House, is a Registered Historic Place located along River Road between Walden and Montgomery in the Town of Montgomery in Orange County, New York. It is built in a combination of the Federal and Queen Anne architectural styles. The former came from Brown, the original builder of the house; the latter from renovations by the Millspaugh family, who moved in in the later 19th century and established many businesses, among them a furniture store that still does business in Walden today.

Peachcroft, too, is still the center of a working farm of many acres that backs on the Wallkill River.
