The Grasmere Schoolhouse No. 9 and Town Hall, also known as the Grasmere Grange Hall, is an historic building located at 87 Center Street in the village of Grasmere in Goffstown, New Hampshire. Designed by W.W. Ireland in the Queen Anne style of architecture, it was built as a dual-function public building in 1889 on the site of a 1700s religious and governmental building.[2] Over the years it has also been used by many local groups, including the now defunct Junior Grange No. 150, which was organized in 1890.[3]

Although no longer used today for its two original uses, it is still used for some public purposes such as the Goffstown Municipal Court and other local governmental agencies. Current private uses include the Merri-Loo Community Preschool, which leases part of the ground floor,[4] and the Jaycees.[5]

On September 5, 1990, Grasmere Schoolhouse No. 9 and Town Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
