The Benjamin Bushnell Farm is a historic farm property at 52 Ingham Hill Road in Essex, Connecticut. The property includes five buildings and 11 acres (4.5 ha) of land. The main house is a c. 1790 Federal style structure, five bays wide, with a central chimney. The barn, with attached silo, is of 19th century origin, and the three remaining buildings are smaller, including a rare surviving cranberry house. The latter is evidence that the Bushnells and their successors actually cultivated cranberries, rather than just harvesting wild ones.[1][2]
The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
