Cushman Union Church, 2 May Street, Adamsdale, North Attleboro, Massachusetts

The church began as a one-room schoolhouse in the village of Adamsdale, where founder George Cushman held Sunday school classes.

Cushman later fought in the Civil War and died in 1866 at age 36.

In 1874, the building became officially named the Cushman Union Sunday School. In 1883, a building committee was formed, and a constitution and by-laws were drafted under the guidance and direction of members Robert Cushman, Henry Guild, J.B. Carpenter, Abner Atwood, Asa Newell, Charles A. Carpenter and Henry B. Carpenter. On Dec. 16, 1883, the first Cushman Sunday School Society service was held at the newly constructed chapel.
