Our mission is to collect, preserve, display or otherwise make accessible to the public, historical information and artifacts relating to the life and times of the citizens of both Madison Village and Madison Township. To accomplish this, the Society has provided educational programs, re-enactors, cemetery and house tours, and operates the noteworthy Madison Historical Museum. In addition, members and friends can stay current with our many activities, events, programs, raffles and other fund-raising efforts through our newsletter, The Times. For the past three years the Society and Museum have been located on Middle Ridge Road in the old Seminary Building. This secondary educational facility was built in 1847 by a number of local citizens before public education came into being. Here, ten fascinating display rooms are devoted to depicting various aspects of Madison history. In addition, the building accommodates the Society offices, library, research and genealogical departments. As a result of research done by the
Society, 28 homes have been placed on the National Register of Historic
Places. A central block in Madison Village has been designated as a National
Historic District. |
