Prescott Town House is a historic former town hall on MA 32 in Petersham, Massachusetts.

The building was built in 1838, serving 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 hall 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.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
