This was the first of many discussions on placing a marker on the spot of the Brown Fort. On September 5, 1924, the committee on the preservation of historic spots met the trustees of Saco and Biddeford Savings Institute. With their permission a tablet was placed on the building at the corner of Water and Main Streets in Saco, the site of the old fort. A chapter report, dated June 6, 1925, mentions the old fort known as \u201cBrowns Garrison,&#8221; which was built on land purchased by William Pepperell, Nathaniel Weave, and Patrick Humphrey Scammon of Saco about 1720. It was used for the protection of settlers as late as 1737. On August 5, 1925, the tablet was finally erected.<\/p>\n<p>It reads:<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"row \"><div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-xs-12 col-sm-12\">\n&#8220;THE SITE OF<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">JOHN BROWN&#8217;S GARRISON<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">A STOCKADE AND BLOCK-HOUSE<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">ERECTED ABOUT 1720<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">AS A REFUGE FOR THOSE WHO SETTLED<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">NEAR THE FALLS DURING THAT PERIOD.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">THIS TABLET PLACED HERE BY<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">REBECCA EMERY CHAPTER<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located at the corner of Main Street and Water Street, Saco, Maine GPS: Lat:43.48826 Lon:W70.45450 By 1919, a report was given at a chapter meeting that there was an old fort, called the \u201cBrown Fort,\u201d located near the site where the new bank block was being erected in Saco.
