The Benjamin Aldrich Homestead is a historic homestead east of the terminus of Aldrich Road, slightly east of Piper Hill in Colebrook, New Hampshire. It consists of 136 acres (55 ha) of farmland, wetland, and woods, with a farm complex that dates to the mid-19th century. The oldest portion of the main house, now an ell, is a 1-1/2 story Cape style structure built in 1846. The main block of the present house, a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, was built in 1861, and the old house rotated and attached to its south side. The attached barn complex dates to 1847. The farm is the last intact 19th-century farmstead in the town of Colebrook.[3]
The homestead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1]
