Justice William Cushing, a founder of the United States, is buried in a small, secluded state park south of Scituate, Massachusetts. His gravesite is difficult to find, located at the end of a luxurious residential street. This forested spot offers scenic views and a chance to honor a key figure in American history. Cushing played a pivotal role in abolishing slavery in Massachusetts through the landmark case Commonwealth v. Jennison in 1783. He also maintained court operations during Shays' Rebellion and prosecuted rebels. As vice-president of the Massachusetts convention, he oversaw the narrow ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Cushing was the last American judge to wear a judicial wig. He was nominated to the inaugural Supreme Court by George Washington and spent much of his time riding circuit. His most significant opinion was in Chisholm v. Georgia, an early landmark case for the court. Cushing also had the honor of administering the oath of office to George Washington for his second term. The path to his grave is marked by a street named Judge Cushing Road, though sometimes referred to as Cushing Park Drive, leading to a cul-de-sac where Cushing Memorial State Park is located.
