A MUST SEE with Multiple "photo ops"! One of Madison’s landmarks, the original Broadway Fountain stood in the middle of Broadway for almost 100 years before it was dismantled and replaced with the 1981 bronze copy or reproduction. The original Janes, Kirtland, and Company cast iron fountain was displayed at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. After the Exposition closed, the Madison Lodge of Independent Order of Odd Fellows purchased the fountain and presented it to the city in 1884. The Broadway Fountain is one of four similarly designed fountains that Janes, Kirtland, and Company created. The others can be found in Savannah, Georgia (seen in the movies Forrest Gump and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil); Poughkeepsie, New York; and Cusco, Peru. The Broadway Fountain Park contributes to the historic significance of the Madison Historic District, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark.

The Human Element...Caring for and about each other

In addition to the beautiful architecture and history of downtown Madison, many "other jewels" have existed and been a foundation of our small river town...most of these reflect the core values of rural, southern Indiana-middle America...taking care of your neighbors and each other....Madison State Hospital has served mentally ill Hoosiers for over 100 years and has been an intricate part of this community. The Eleutherian College in Lancaster, Indiana....Broadway School in Madison...and many others....all reflecting the diversity and the "Human Element" that makes Madison so special.
A walk around the hospital grounds (paved roadway, considered "state highway"-approx 1.5 mile loop) would expose guests to variety of elements....state psychiatric hospital facility (including small hospital cemetary), department of corrections, Indiana Veteran's cemetary, Heritage trail entrance, and an abundance of wildlife (deer, wild turkeys, etc.)

Nestled in rural Lancaster, In, the Eleutherian College Classroom and Chapel Building, 1856, and was the first college in Indiana to admit students without regard to race or gender. ... the most active participants in the Underground Railroad were known to be in and around Lancaster....this unique college is an interesting find for the true history buff!
