"A picture is worth a thousand words" is the old saying. On this page I wanted to share some photos Madison.
Some of these pictures were taken by my dad and are therefore rights free. In those cases there is no citation information listed.
Images found through internet search are cited accordingly.
Madison From High Overhead
This is a photo posted on city-data.com and can be viewed at their site by clicking here. It was taken by John H. Collette in August of 2005.
I like this photo because it gives you a nice idea of the size of Madison. In the photo you can see the following
- The Ohio River in all its muddy glory
- The Madison bridge which connects to the town of Milton, Kentucky.
- Route 421 which is the major road running up through the hillside.
The Ohio River Valley
Below is nice photo taken by "BaldLoonie" and posted at tripadvisor.com
In it you can see the river valley looking east towards the Madison Milton Bridge as well as some of the historic downtown buildings on the left-hand edge of the photo. I can tell that this photo was taken from one of the look out points at Clifty Falls State Park
The Broadway Fountain
The following image is of the Broadway Fountain. This fountain is located in downtown Madison at the intersection of Broadway and Main. The fountain was originally exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876.

The Lanier Mansion
The following description of The Lanier mansion is quoted from the Madison Visitors bureau website. Click Here for more info. The image itself was taken by David Blewett on September, 13, 2007 and can be viewed by clicking here
"Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1994, this 1844 Greek Revival mansion was designed by architect Francis Costigan for financier and railroad magnate James F.D. Lanier. Recent restoration made possible largely by funding from private sources - has recaptured the Mansions 19th century splendor.
Features 1844 Greek Revival home of James F.D. Lanier, gift shop, recreated formal gardens, public restrooms. The Mansion, referred to as the "crown jewel" of Madison’s Historic District, is a National Historic Landmark."
To give you some small point of reference compared to the other photos on this page if you were standing at this same spot facing the mansion the Ohio River would be about 150 yards behind you. The arial picture at the top of the page would have been taken from over your right shoulder.
