Cushing Park, dedicated to Civil War heroes William, Alonzo, and Howard Cushing, was Waukesha County's first state park. The 50 foot Barre' granite monument stands on part of the original Cushing homestead. The park was a gathering place for the Grand Army of the Republic (Civil War Veterans) and allied organizations. The site was designated a state park in 1915 through efforts of Waukesha County Historical Society and citizens of Delafield. It was turned over to the City of Delafield in May 1980.

Site of the Peace Spring, which was a meeting place for the Potowatomi people.
