The Williamson House is a historic house on Messer Road in Goshen, New Hampshire. This 1-1/2 story plank-frame house was built c. 1850, probably for Isaac Messer. It is distinct in Goshen's cluster of plank-frame houses in its use of two-inch planking. The walls are further likely to be load-bearing, as the house lacks corner posts, and are pinned to the frame rather than the more typical mortise-and-tenon method seen in other such houses. The main block is five bays wide and four deep, with an attached ell that is four bays by three. Outbuildings on the property include a small sugar house (behind the main house), and a barn (across the road).

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
