Welcome to Barnstead!

Barnstead Town Hall

We have miles of snowmobile trails for those who enjoy the snow; wonderful clear lakes and streams for the fishing or boating enthusiast, activities and games for the kids and canoes and kayaks for those times when you just want to glide down a river.

If you are in need of a service, the navigation on the left will allow you to find just what you are looking for, along with contact names and numbers to reach the appropriate party.

In the interest of public safety, the Town has decided to close Town Hall to the public and suspend all nonessential programs – effective March 20, 2020 at 4:30 p.m. until further notice - for the safety of both town employees and community members. Beginning March 31, 2020 the Select Board will be meeting every other week until further notice.
