The Farwell School is a historic school building on New Hampshire Route 12A in the North Charlestown village of Charlestown, New Hampshire. The stone two-room school was designed by the Detroit, Michigan firm of Ward & McFarland and built in 1890. It is one of two Romanesque Revival buildings in the town, and the only one executed in stone. The school was paid for by Jesse Farwell, and was maintained for many years by a community trust established by the Farwells for many years.[2] It is now part of the North Charlestown Community School.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
