The Tucker Mountain Schoolhouse is a historic one-room schoolhouse on Tucker Mountain Road in Andover, New Hampshire. The small wood frame building was built in 1837, and served as a schoolhouse until 1893, when it was closed due to declining enrollments. The classroom is 16 feet (4.9 m) wide and 18 feet (5.5 m) long. A small ell was added to the building to provide a weather break, a place to store firewood, and a privy area. The interior of the school has retained its furnishings: the desks are bolted to the floor, which slopes slightly to afford students in the rear a better view of the front of room.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. It is now owned by the Andover Historical Society, and is occasionally open for tours in the summer.
