Collections
The Madison we see today has been shaped by the forces of nature and external events and the energy of its people. At the Madison Historical Society our work is shaped by love of our community and curiosity about our shared past. Our collections represent these things and more: they represent the people who save, document, and remember out loud, they represent the devotion of our volunteers who assemble and care for them, and they represent the generosity of our donors who make it all possible.
