The Grahamsville Historic District is located along both sides of NY 55 just east of that hamlet in the Town of Neversink in Sullivan County, New York, USA. Its church is across the road from Tri-Valley Central School. In 1979 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Five buildings are located on its 20 acres (8 ha). The centerpiece of the district is the Grahamsville Reformed Church, which dates originally to the 1840s. In 1874 it was expanded and a cemetery was added. An 1847 boarding house, also within the district, now serves as a gallery for a local artist.

The six elements of the district are:

  • Marenius Dayton House,
  • 1857 House,
  • Southwick House,
  • Tannery Store,
  • Cemetery, and
  • Grahamsville Reformed Church[2]
