The Best Small Town in the Midwest is Also Home to a Hollywood Actor

Every small town in Indiana has its own history and culture that make it unique. Madison, Indiana seems to have something for everyone. It sits on the top of several Best of lists every year. Oh, and it is now home to a famous actor and his new wife.

Located on the banks of the Ohio River, Madison is known for its historic downtown area, Victorian architecture, and friendly community. I have never personally been to Madison, but I have a friend that loves this town so much, she named her daughter Madison. They actually lived there and thy go back for the fun holiday events.
