Indiana is Home to The Best Small Town in the Midwest
Located on the banks of the Ohio River, Madison, Indiana is known for its historic downtown area, Victorian architecture, and friendly community. I have a friend who loves this town so much, she named her daughter Madison. She loves going back for the special events they host, too. Plus, it is such a friendly and close-knit community.
Here is What USA TODAY 10 Best Readers' Choice Says About Madison, Indiana:
Madison is part of the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs Main Street Program. This gives town representatives some really great resources and networking opportunities, so everyone can see what makes it unique.
