Night at the Museums
Step aboard Madison’s historic trolleys for Night at the Museums: An Evening of Discovery, a progressive evening of history, art, and discovery. Guests will travel to three local museums [Walnut Street Fire Hall Museum, Lanier Mansion, and the History & Art Center] and experience a live wet-plate photography demonstration, all connected by a scenic narrated trolley tour through downtown Madison with period character guides!
Clifty Days
We’re excited to introduce Clifty Day, a quarterly event that invites you to experience the natural beauty of Clifty Falls State Park like never before! Each Clifty Day includes free park admission, a 1-hour guided tour led by the park’s naturalist, and plenty of time to explore the trails, nature center, and gift shop.
2025 events have ended, but come back soon for the 2026 event dates!
