1 Best Sight in Madison, Indiana

Jefferson County Heritage Center and Madison Railroad Station

Exhibits and artifacts important to Madison's history and Ohio Valley's heritage are on show here. Some exhibits trace southern Indiana's role in steamboating and the Civil War, while others tap into railroad history—Madison was once the terminus of Indiana's first railroad, the Madison and Indianapolis line. Be sure to visit the octagonal restored Madison Railroad Station next door. It was constructed in 1895 and in use as a passenger station until 1935.
