Madison, North Carolina

Welcome to Madison, a small and friendly community located less than 30 miles from Greensboro, Winston-Salem and the Virginia border, easily accessible via US-220/I-73. For a number of decades, the town's economy has been based in the industrial and manufacturing industry. Complete with a great location, warm climate and friendly residents, Madison is a perfect town for any family, retiree or commuter to settle

Madison is known for its many historical landmarks and districts, with one list on the  national historic registry. Here you'll find a number of homes built in the early 19th century in a variety of housing styles including: Victorian, Federal, Colonial Revival, Greek Revival and Bugalow.

Completed around 1900, The Pratt House is part of the Decatur-Hunter Street Historic District. This majestic Queen Anne features hipped, gabled and conical roofs, stained glass windows and Palladian windows in the attic gables. Recent renovations included a new roof, foundation and striking Victorian paint job. The oldest home in Madison is The Boxwoods, this Federal and Victorian combination overlooks the Dan River Bottoms and is complete with a smokehouse, coal shed and servants quarters. Built in three stages from the late 1770's to the 1840's, The Boxely is a beautiful Colonial Revival that is now a bed and breakfast.

The Madison Presbyterian Church, built in 1848, is a great example of Madison's diversified arcitecture. This exquisite Greek Revival, includes a 1880's richly textured enclosed portico which contributes to the building's Neo-Classical style through its gable with boxed cornice and returns. The original Presbyterian cemetery, located at W. Academy Street, is the final resting place for the Madison's original founders and residents. The Neo-Romanesque Town Clock is a memorial for Madison's World War I veterans. One of the few remaining clocks operated by winding, it was shipped by boat and rail from Boston.
