The New Hampton Town House (also known as New Hampton Meeting House; Center Meeting House) is a historic meeting house at the junction of Town House Road and Dana Hill Road in New Hampton, New Hampshire.
The meeting house was built from 1789-1798 with support from Congregationalists living in the community. After difficulties arose with completing the project, the town assisted with funding the building in return for using the meeting house for town meetings. After the town subsidized the Congregationalists' building, the Free Will Baptists in the town built their own meeting house nearby, the Dana Meeting House. Eventually, the Congregationalists stopped using the building. The New Hampton Town House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[2]
