The Dorchester Common Historic District encompasses three public buildings that front the public common in the village of Dorchester, New Hampshire (it does not include the common itself). The oldest of the three buildings is the schoolhouse, which dates to 1808 and is now a local museum. The Dorchester Community Church was built in 1828, and the town hall in 1844, on the site of the town's first (1828) town hall.[2]
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985;[1] the church was also separately listed in 1980.
