what our visitors say
These field trips are so well designed and coordinated--and it's clear that great care and thought has been put into aligning the activities with the social studies content standards. I love how my students' faces lit up as they participated in activities that revealed interesting facts about the history of their own town.

Historic Plaque Program
The Madison Historical Society offers its Plaque Program to owners of all town properties that predate 1930. The purpose of the program is to:
- to promote public appreciation of the historic character of Madison;
- to give recognition both to Madison’s early buildings and to the people who built or resided in them;
- to encourage stewardship of the historic built environment of our community.
To qualify for a plaque, the building must be visually recognizable as an historic building and its history must be documented according to Madison Historical Society procedures. The dating of a structure is done by deed research (and other primary-source information) as well as by an architectural review.
