  The Prescott Town House is a historic former town hall on MA 32 in Petersham, Massachusetts.
  
  The building was built in 1838 in a Greek Revival style and served as the town hall for Prescott, Massachusetts, a town that was unincorporated in order to make way for the Quabbin Reservoir in the 1930s. The town house was moved to Petersham, where it is now located on a hill above a hay meadow north of the town center. This move was funded by Judge John Monroe Woolsey, who used the building as a law library and office.
  
  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
