The Town Pound is a rectangular structure. It looks like many of the other pounds found throughout New England. The entrance way is on the right corner. It sits off the road and one must push the brush aside to get to it.

It is owned by the Waldoborough Historical Society and is one of 3 structures at their museum on Main Street.
