Madison, Indiana Quotes

“Madison, Indiana, is often called a living museum of styles, building types and eras, but the accent is on the living.”-- National Trust for Historic Preservation book, America’s Forgotten Architecture.

“The feel—the sense of place and comfort of this place. It’s very precious in our country today.” Carol Schull, Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places
