This is an attractive, clean and well preserved historic town. There are lots of good places to eat and visit and all types of businesses for shopping.

Wherever I go I'm always interested in checking out the business district (BD). Madison has the most historic businesses and houses I have ever seen in one town. Block after block of original architecture that has been respected and very well preserved. Many shops and places to snack or grab a full meal. Really beautiful. Clifty Falls for hiking was the main reason for visiting so I was very pleasantly surprised by the "Old Town" section.
My only issue? Parking spot availability was atrocious. It wasn't really unexpected for the area but if you're there on a busy weekend, good luck parking.

Parking can be a problem during the festival, we parked at the bank for 10.00 and used the free shuttle to Broadway. A very good option.

The architecture in the historic district is truly lovely. Added to the mix are numerous shops and restaurants that will peak your interest. Add a special event and you have a weekend that screams out we must stay the weekend. The Madison Chautauqua in September is a good time to see the historic district. Also, the last weekend of November and first weekend of December when they have the "Nights Before Christmas tour of historic places and private homes are great. The whole area is decorated for the season and makes for a festive time while shopping and relaxing.
