The Stone School is a historic school building on Granite Street in Newmarket, New Hampshire. Built in 1841-42, it is a mainly granite structure, three stories on one side and two on the other, as it is built into the side of a hill. The walls are of rubble construction, with some shale mixed in with the granite. The stone was quarried at Durham Point. It was used continuously as a school until 1966, when it was given to the Newmarket Historical Society, which now operates it as the Stone School Museum, a local history museum.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
