Built in 1815, it is New Hampshire's only surviving Federal-style single-story meeting house to serve both religious and civic functions.

The main facade faces the road to the south, and is five bays wide, with a central door flanked by two windows on either side.

Interior features include a slightly sloping wooden floor, to improve visibility by people sitting in the rear of the hall.

[3] The meeting house was built in 1815 on land donated by Judge Hall Burgin, originally intended as a church.

In 1908 the town deeded its ownership share to a local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), which oversaw its maintenance.
