The Smith Meeting House is a historic church at the junction of Smith Meetinghouse, Parsonage Hill, and Joe Jones Roads in Gilmanton, New Hampshire. It is a well-preserved single story wood frame structure built about 1840, and was named for Gilmanton's first minister, Isaac Smith, who preached at the town's first meeting house, which was located on this site. The present structure is said to contain structural members used in the construction of the original building. Rarely used for civic functions, its religious use declined in the late 19th century, and its maintenance was taken over in 1898 by the Old Smith Meeting House Improvement Society.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
