[1] The Governor Meshech Weare House stands in the town center of Hampton Falls, on the north side of Exeter Road at its junction with Lincoln Avenue.

The house is 2+1⁄2 stories in height, and is of wood-frame construction with a side gable roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior.

The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature and full segmented-arch pediment.

A reluctant supporter of independence, he chaired the state's executive committee during the American Revolutionary War, and became its first President in 1784 (the term Governor of New Hampshire was adopted later).

Notable guests at the house include George Washington, James Madison, and the Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette.
