Madison, Indiana is a thriving small community perfect for visiting historic sites, antiquing, shopping, dining, and wine tasting.

Three scenic historic routes bisect the town, including the Underground Railroad self-guided driving tour, the Ohio River scenic route and the Michigan Road historic byway. Visit Hanover College, Indiana’s oldest four-year institution, founded in 1827.

Take a carriage ride through the historic downtown district, or board a vintage passenger trolley or antique funeral casson.

To see the Ohio River, take a jet boat tour spring through fall, or attend the Madison Regatta or the RiverRoots Music and Folk Arts Festival.

In December, the Nights Before Christmas Candlelight Tour of Homes will introduce you to the area’s historic properties.
