The Milton Town House is a historic civic and religious building at the junction of Town House Road and New Hampshire Route 16 in Milton, New Hampshire. The single-story wood frame structure was original two full stories, and was built in 1803 (one year after the town was incorporated) to serve as a church and civic meeting space. The town purchased the building in 1855, reduced it to a single story, and removed its interior religious trappings. The pulpit was reinstalled in 1965, but not at its original location, as a reminder of the building's religious past.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] The listing includes a rebuilt copy of the town's original animal pound, a unique circular fieldstone structure which stands across Route 16. It was built in 1804, rebuilt in 1823, and moved and rebuilt when the highway was widened in 1928.[2]
