Tour | Madison: The Heart of the American Story | Discover IndianaThe flow of history is preserved in this quaint river town. Via boats and barges along the Ohio River, migrants from Virginia, Kentucky, Germany, and Ireland arrived in Madison, Indiana—a narrow, gentle bend of the river that provided access to rich farm land, a developing commercial industry, and a thriving town. Each migrant brought their own story that would take advantage of opportunities Madison provided.

Discover Indiana is a statewide public history project that brings cultural and historical information to public through a website that is full of tours and stories crisscrossing the state. HMI curated a Madison tour through a collaboration with IUPUI, Indiana's Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology, and the Indiana Historical Society.
