Many of us have a “bucket list”. Things we want to see and do before…well…I’ll just say it, before we die. Some of you may have visited Madison before, but for those of you contemplating a visit, we think you’ll find our wonderful little town “bucket list” worthy.

The mighty Ohio River snakes its way through our downtown, providing a natural barrier between Southern Indiana and Kentucky, it is an innate draw to those visiting our area. Our considerable collection of 19th century architecture, charming shops, wineries, historic sites and numerous events make Madison, a popular destination for the young and the young at heart.

Our location makes us easily accessible to 4 major interstates (I-65, I-71, I-75 & I-64) each within a 50 mile (or less) radius. Whether you’re traveling I-64, I-71, or I-75, each route provides an easy approach to Madison across our brand new innovative bridge (more on that later). Plus, we are only a short 20 miles east of I-65 and worth the trip!

Are We on Your “Bucket List”?

This is just a small sampling of the things to see and do in Madison. So whether you’re checking things off your “bucket list” or just looking for great place to visit, we think we’re the perfect destination. Why don’t you check us out and see for yourself?

Visit one of southern Indiana’s natural hidden treasures!

Clifty Falls State Park is minutes from downtown and boasts over 1500 acres

of trails, majestic waterfalls and the natural beauty of pristine terrain. Clifty Inn is

nestled just inside the park and it overlooks the valley with a sweeping view of

the river in the distance.

Enjoy a Homegrown Festival! We have group friendly events throughout the year beginning in May with

our RiverRoots Music & Folk Arts Festival and winding down in November

and December with the Nights Before Christmas Candlelight Tour of Homes.

We also feature Barbeque and Blues in August with our nationally acclaimed

Madison Ribberfest, Madison Regatta in July and Madison Chautauqua Festival

of the Arts in September, when our entire downtown is transformed into a

shopper’s paradise.

See the eighth Wonder of the World

(at least, we think it should be!) We are excited to announce the completion of the Milton-Madison bridge

project. This endeavor has taken the better part of three years to complete and

has provided locals and visitors front row seats to this innovative concept. The

bridge replacement method used, known as “superstructure replacement,” was

the fastest and most cost effective way to build a safe new bridge, while having

the least impact on our historic community and the surrounding environment.

During construction a new steel truss was built and then placed on temporary

piers while the existing piers underwent a major refurbishing to bring them up

to today’s standards. The original bridge was then demolished in a series of

planned implosions. The 2,427 foot truss was then slid on steel rails and plates

to the existing piers. This project was deemed the fastest modern- day bridge

built across the Ohio River and is contained entirely within the original footprint

of the old bridge.

Experience the thrill of a New Zealand jet boat ride

without leaving the states! For thrill seekers, we offer the only jet boat rides on the Ohio River! Rockin’

Thunder is our newest attraction with spins, slides and fishtails galore! Prepare

to get wet! If this sounds like a little too much fun and excitement, a scenic ride

or dinner cruise are offered for those a little fainter of heart.

Two Day Itinerary


NEW

Day two

8:00 A.M. Breakfast at your hotel or venture downtown to try a Madison mainstay, Horst’s Donuts. These delicious pastries nearly melt in your mouth, but get there early; they are usually long gone by eleven am.

9:00 A.M. Re-live the movies in Madison with an emphasis on the movie often referred to as the beginning of the “Rat Pack”.

Wineries


Begin your tour at any of the six wineries on the trail, but be sure to finish in Historic Madison, a picturesque 19th century river town, that is also a National Historic Landmark District.

Ridge Winery Tasting Room can be found east of Madison just above Vevay, In. This is the first stop on your wine trail journey. From their expansive deck overlooking the river, you can taste the new generation of wines from the birthplace of America’s commercial wine making industry.

Ertel Cellars Winery is located just up the road off SR 129 in Batesville, In. In addition to a state of the art winery, Ertel Cellars features a full service restaurant. The food is fabulous and sure to be a favorite with your group.

Your next stop is Stream Cliff Herb Farm Winery. Located on a Civil War farm, this popular stop includes a tea room, herb, gardens, and a winery. Their lunches in the tea room and Wine Cellar are a culinary treat and their Lemon Verbena Lemonade is the best around!

Just north of Madison off Hwy 421 is Madison Vineyards Estate Winery. Have a glass of their award winning wine on the deck, as you enjoy the view of the vineyards and surrounding farmlands. Winemaker dinners are also very popular at this winery and include a multi-course dinner paired with a variety of their wines.
