The Cushnoc Archeological Site, also known as Cushnoc (ME 021.02) or Koussinoc or Coussinoc, is an archaeological site in Augusta, Maine that was the location of a 17th-century trading post operated by English colonists from Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts. The trading post was built in 1628 and lies on the Kennebec River. The English primarily traded with bands of the Abenaki nation. Later the British colonists developed Fort Western, an 18th-century stockade fort, adjacent to this site. It became the center of development for the city of Augusta. The Cushnoc site is significant as it provides a window into trading, living, and construction practices in the early period of colonial settlement in New England. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993.

The Calumet Bridge at Old Fort Western is a bridge in Augusta, Maine, over the Kennebec River. It carries Cony Street from Downtown Augusta on the west side of the river to the east side near Old Fort Western. From its construction in 1973 until 2009, the bridge was known as the Father Curran Bridge, named by the Maine Legislature for the Rev. John J. Curran, a Catholic priest at St. Augustine Church in Augusta from 1962 to 1972. Long after his death in 1976, allegations of sexual abuse arose, which motivated the legislature to vote to remove his name from the bridge in 2009. The legislation to do so, sponsored by Rep. Patsy Crockett and signed by Gov. John Baldacci, gave the bridge its current name. The word calumet refers to a "peace pipe".
