- Drink up at local breweries! As one of the first brewing cities west of the Alleghenies, Madison’s four breweries crafted great beer from 1818-1918. At that time, most of the breweries were operated by Germans who brought their recipes from Europe. The brewing industry was very prosperous in Madison until Prohibition. Madison has the oldest standing brewery building in Indiana, the Greiner Brewery, just east of downtown. Naturally, the Greiner building was also the site of Madison’s first brewery. Despite Prohibition, the beer culture of Madison survived and thrives today.
- Order a sweet treat at Sallie’s. Sallie’s Small Batch Ice Cream Shop is family- and dog-friendly vintage 1953 airstream camper and specializes in unique flavors for humans and canines alike. Flavors vary from seasonal options (Maple Cream & Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Ice Creams) to unique takes on classics (Honey Bourbon Vanilla ice cream). Open seasonally from April through October.
- Take a load off at the 1884 Bar in the lobby of Fairfield Inn & Suites Madison Historic Eagle Cotton Mill. Sleek and clean design give way to historic details around the public areas of the hotel.
