This is a small town owned park that very few people know is here. Please respect the property and park at the above coordinates. Now a little history;
The Buxton Powder House, one of only three War of 1812 powder houses to survive in Maine, was erected as a result of the vote of local citizens on March 12, 1812. Thomas Elwell, the lowest bidder, took the contract at the munificent price of $59 and completed the job in the fall of 1813. Powder, lead balls, flints and camp kettles were stored in this official arsenal the following spring under the custody of Captain Samuel Dunnell.
