Visit Madison, Georgia!

A magical southern town just an hour east of Atlanta, Madison is the town Sherman spared on his infamous March to the Sea. Its National Register Historic District is one of the state’s largest collection of 19th century architecture, earning it a place on Budget Travel Magazine's list of “16 Most Picturesque Villages in the World” and Travel Holiday Magazine's list as the “#1 Small Town in America.” Madison combines with nearby Rutledge to house more than 170 antiques dealers, 40 boutiques and 20 unique eateries.

Aristocratic from its 1807 founding, Madison keeps its cultural edge with offerings from the visual and performing arts to epicurean delights served in an array of venues, whether very fine dining or riverside outings at area farms. Art, food, music and agricultural festivals abound throughout the year.
