- Find antebellum organizing inspiration at the Costigan House. Francis Costigan built his masterpiece home on a small lot in 1851, incorporating space-saving features throughout the house. From a sliding pocket front door, a postage-stamp-sized entry, and a unique stepladder staircase, it laid the path for the modern “tiny home movement.”
- ALL ABOARD! Visit the Madison Railroad Station Museum and the larger History Center Campus. With a local history museum and restored caboose, the Railroad Station Museum showcases the location as it was in 1895. With original equipment on display, the museum provides education on the construction and usage of the railroad and how it affected the city of Madison.
- Go fossil finding at Clifty Creek park. Clifty Creek’s stony bed is littered with fossil remnants telling of a long-vanished marine ecosystem that teemed with life that included ancient corals, ancestral squids, brachiopods, and more. Fossil collecting within Clifty Falls State Park is prohibited but nearby collecting locations are readily accessible and looking is always allowed.
