Madison, tucked among the rolling southeastern hills that meander
toward the Ohio River, was settled when Indiana was still a
territory and became a city in 1809. A major river port, Madison
thrived during the steamboat era as well as when railroads came to
dominate the landscape. The city's glorious past is still on
display. Many magnificent edifices dating back to eras from the
beginning of the 1800s to the early 20th century provide wonderful
examples of Federal, Greek Revival, and Italianate architecture.
The National Register of Historic Places lists over 133 Madison
blocks, making it Indiana's largest historic district. To stroll
along the main streets of Madison, to follow the river as it
meanders past the town, or to visit the restored railroad station,
now home to the Jefferson County Historical Society, is to follow
the paths of history. Very few cities in America can boast such
centuries-old splendor.
