The Eli Morse Farm is a historic farm on Lake Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. It is one of the earliest settlements in the town, settled by Eli Morse in 1764. Morse served as a clerk of the community and left an invaluable record of Dublin's early history. The main house of his 225-acre (91 ha) farm is a large Federal style brick structure built c. 1822 by Eli Morse's son Thaddeus. Additions were made to the house in 1886, including a porch and front portico. The farmstead includes several outbuildings, including a barn, grist mill, and several cottages.
The farm is also notable as the summer estate of New York City lawyer and diplomat Grenville Clark, who acquired the property through his wife's family in 1914. Clark organized a peace conference in 1945, held at this site, at which attendees drafted the Dublin Declaration, calling for the United Nations to be created as a world government. The Clark family continues to own the property, maintaining for agricultural and conservation purposes.
The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
