The Whipple House, located at 4 Pleasant Street in Ashland, New Hampshire, is a historic house museum. This location is significant as it was the birthplace of George Hoyt Whipple, a Nobel Prize-winning doctor and pathologist. The house was built around 1837 and is a well-preserved example of a mid-19th century Cape-style house. It is now operated by the Ashland Historical Society and is open to the public during the warmer months.

George Hoyt Whipple, a Nobel Prize-winning doctor and pathologist, was born in the Whipple House in 1878. The house remained in the Whipple family until George donated it to the town for use as a museum. This house is not only a well-preserved example of a mid-19th century Cape-style house but also a testament to the life and work of George Hoyt Whipple.
