Welcome to Madison, Indiana... "The most beautiful small town in the Midwest." Surrounded by breath-taking natural beauty, Madison is known for its historic architecture as well as its long tradition as a thriving commercial and industrial center. Settled in 1809, Madison was a major river port and supply town outfitting pioneers moving into the Old Northwest Territory. The Steamboat Era and construction of roads and rails into central Indiana brought wealth and influence. As railroads flourished and expanded, new commercial and industrial centers emerged, and Madison slipped into a century of slumber. Madison's tradition of fine building created an architectural legacy that spawned a preservation movement in the 1960's and continues to evoke admiration for this significant historic community.
