Historic Madison, Inc.

In 1960 Mr. and Mrs. John T. Windle founded Historic Madison, Inc., a not for profit historic preservation organization. The organization has played a key role for the preservation, restoration, education and development of Madison’s 133 block historic district. John Windle believed that the past was prologue. He believed that Madison’s future rested in improving the physical assets already present. While other communities were modernizing and removing its history, Madison began to rebuild and improve its historic resources.

Historic Madison, Inc. is the local partner of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Madison,Indiana.
