The Learned Homestead is a historic farmstead on Upper Jaffrey Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The property includes a 1-1/2 story Cape style vernacular farmhose, built c. 1790 by Deacon Benjamin Learned, one of Dublin's early settlers. The property also includes a rare 19th century barn. The house remained in the hands of Learned's descendants until about 1898, when it was purchased by Franklin MacVeagh, who incorporated it into his Knollwood estate, and used this house as an office. It underwent a sympathetic restoration under new owners in the 1940s.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
