The 1895 Madison Railroad Station has been called "a gem of a paseenger station," largely because of the octagon shaped, two-story waiting room. Here the public can see railroad artifacts as well as a full schedule of changing exhibits devoted to the art and artifacts of southeastern Indiana and the Ohio Valley.
