Moses Van Campen House is a historic home located at Angelica in Allegany County, New York. It is a 2 1⁄2-story, L-shaped brick and frame house with a 2-story addition. It was built around 1809 by Moses Van Campen (1757–1849) and is on a 47-acre (190,000 m2) property. Van Campen was a Revolutionary War veteran, Indian fighter, and surveyor.
