National Historic Landmarks
Some of the nation’s finest landmarks are right here in Madison!
Madison’s Historic Downtown holds the designation as the nation’s largest Contiguous National Historic Landmark District with a jaw-dropping 133 historic blocks. It’s a mouthful to say, but an eyeful to experience!
If that weren’t enough, Madison and Jefferson County are also home to Four National Historic Landmark sites as well. The Lanier Mansion and Shrewsbury-Windle Home were both designated as National Historic Landmarks in 1994, followed by the Historic Eleutherian College in 1997.
In addition, Hanover College was officially recognized as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.
These sites continue to be popular attractions in Jefferson County.
