We were delighted to stumble across the Railroad Museum in Madison during our stay at Clifty Falls. "Red" White, our guide, shared tons of interesting information about Madison's days gone by when railroads were fast replacing waterways as the primary mode of transportation. Sprinkled among the fascinating story of the railway were snippets Red shared about his personal experiences as a longtime Madison resident. We found him humorous, charming and engaging. Red also gave us a wealth of info about the history of Madison and the surrounding area. Well worth the meager $6 admission! Well-maintained facility and well-preserved artifacts. Thank goodness for history buffs like Red, who volunteer their time, energy and personality to give us a glimpse into the past.

We were greated by the gentleman who obviously loves the place. He was glad to point out many of the interesting maps and photos in the small museum and answered every question. My daughter and I are not that up on trains and were eager to learn new things. Really though, unless this is your area of expertise you won't be there long. But it was nice learning about that part of Madison's history.

The Building was very interesting, but it was closed on the Friday we were in Madison. The doors and windows appeared to be original bubble glass. As we peeked through the windows , we could see interesting artifacts. Disappointed that it was closed.

Always a fan of restored and reused old buildings...especially train stations...but six bucks a person? We opted not to enter. sigh. Deano

We wish we had budgeted more than a half-hour to visit this museum because there is a lot of information to read. Probably more an attraction for people with long attention spans because there isn't much interactive here. Discovered that kids 16 and under are free!

This was a delightful find, especially if you like trains. The station has been lovingly restored, attractive and clean. The docent that guided our tour was "a character" and very knowledgable, he brought history alive. A good value, and is near the Lanier Mansion.

The Madison Railroad Station Museum has an octagonal waiting room. The exhibits and items on display are interesting, especially the railroad lanterns, as there was an unusual glass lantern we had never seen before.

Closes at 4:30 we arrived at the station at 3:30 but attendant was doing a "tour" and sent us to the other building that, we were informed, closed at 4P as opposed to 4:30 which all the signs said. So closed early on a nondescript county museum (yes, I ran through much to the consternation of the... volunteer) Not worth any effort.

This is more than a mere museum with a few things about the railroad. This was major in Madison, it also involved the Underground Railroad as well. So lots to read and then followup once you leave the building. .
