New Ipswich's early academy building

New Ipswich Academy (also known as New Ipswich Appleton Academy) was a historic private academy in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, which operated from 1789 to 1968.

History

The New Ipswich Academy was chartered in 1789 and was later renamed Appleton Academy after benefactor Samuel Appleton, the largest early donor to the school. It was the second oldest academy chartered in New Hampshire after Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter. New Ipswich Academy had a close relationship with Dartmouth College in Hanover. It would also serve as high school for the nearby communities of Mason and Greenville. Appleton Academy closed in 1968. In 1969, construction of Mascenic Regional High School was completed in New Ipswich.[1][2]
