Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Benjamin Burton Garrison Site is a historic archaeological site in Cushing, Maine. It is the location of a palisaded stone blockhouse built in 1753 by Benjamin Burton, an Irish immigrant who came to what was then a frontier area in 1751. Burton's blockhouse was one of several colonial defensive positions on the Saint George River, occupying a position between present-day Thomaston, and Pleasant Point at the mouth of the river. The blockhouse was attacked by Native Americans in 1756, during the French and Indian War.[1]

The site of Burton's blockhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 for its archaeological significance.[2]
