The Farmington Town Pound is an historic animal pound in Farmington, New Hampshire. It is located on the north side of Pound Road near its intersection with Ten Rod Road. The pound is a stone structure square, consisting of four walls made of dry-laid fieldstone about high and wide at the base. The walls are topped with long granite capstones. There is an opening about wide on the south side, facing Pound Road, which once had a granite lintel stone over the top, but this has fallen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Farmington Town Pound )〕 The pound was built in 1823 by the town, replacing an earlier wooden structure built in 1802, and is one of a few well-preserved pounds in southeastern New Hampshire. It remained in use until late in the 19th century, and was sold into private hands in 1918. It was given back to the town, and is now maintained by the (Farmington Historical Society ).〔 The pound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.〔 Farmington_Town_Pound_National_Register_of_Historic_Places_Marker.JPG|Historic marker at the Farmington Town Pound site.
