Sandown Old Meetinghouse

Location
  
Fremont Rd., Sandown, New Hampshire

The Sandown Old Meetinghouse is a historic meeting house on Fremont Road in Sandown, New Hampshire. Built in 1773, this two-story timber-frame structure is a virtually unaltered late-Colonial civic and religious structure. It is believed to be unique in the state for its level of preservation, both internal and external. Even though religious services ended in the building in 1834, it has retained its 18th-century pulpit and sounding board, as well as its original box pews. The building was used for town meetings until 1929, and has been owned by a local nonprofit organization since.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
