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.
The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
