The Hallowell Powder House, built in June 1820, was established to securely store gunpowder, following a town meeting resolution in 1819. This historic structure, located on Couch's Ledge, was conveyed to the residents of Hallowell for a mere $30 and later became a significant landmark by being entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
Additionally, the Beeman Cannon, originally part of the British Navy's HMS Boxer, commemorates the contributions of local militia units during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Acquired by local businessmen in the 1830s, it served as a symbol of community spirit and was traditionally fired during celebrations.
