“Madison, GA was featured in Budget Travel Magazine (2012) as one of the 16 MOST BEAUTIFUL towns in the world, which is an enormous compliment! Especially considering some of the other towns were Bilbury (England), Wengen (Switzerland), Eze (France), and Český Krumlov (Czech Republic). Urban legend has it that General Sherman, on his march through the south, refused to burn down this quaint little Southern city because it was simply too beautiful. THE SCENE The morning of my day trip to Madison I was suffering from debilitating muscle spasms in my neck. However, my yelp friend Brian S & his lovely wife Cindy were in town visiting for the 2nd time and I was determined to show them a great time! Their first visit two years ago was blanketed with rain nearly the entire visit and limited where I could take them. THIS visit was full of sunny blue skies and I intended to take advantage of every second! But by the time we made it to Madison, my neck spasms were so painful that I had to stop pretending they weren't bothering me. The frequency of the attacks were every 30 minutes or so at first, but advanced to every 3 minutes by mid-day. I could take no more and stopped at Thrifty Mac pharmacy in Madison to buy ibuprofen for the pain and lidocaine to help relax my neck muscle. The awesome part about a small town is how helpful the people can be. The pharmacist herself came down from behind the counter to search out the best cure for my ailment. Unfortunately, the spasms didn't fully go away until I'd gotten a good night's sleep, but they did relax enough so that I could enjoy time with my friends. THE EXPERIENCE We started our expedition at the Visitor Center, where a kind woman laid out all the points of interest. Madison is one of Georgia's largest historic districts, with nearly 100 historic antebellum homes and a beautiful courthouse built in 1901. At the exterior rear of the courthouse is a set of stairs leading to the courtroom balcony that was the entrance used by blacks. We briefly toured the building and the courtroom, where I was reminded of the court scene from the movie Lincoln. Next door to the courthouse is a home that precedes it by over 100 years! The ROGER HOUSE was built sometime in the early 1800's. The front porch ceiling is painted a pale blue, a customary practice meant to attract insects upwards. The home is filled with period furniture, including a sugar chest, where the lady of the house often kept raw sugar cubes under lock and key! Upstairs are two bedrooms. The master was the smaller of the two and had a second bed in a small corner nook used to house soldier seeking shelter. It was also used for traveling pastors or judges. Its placement inside the master bedroom was twofold. 1) to keep an eye on this stranger and 2) to keep the visitor uncomfortable so as not to overstay their welcome! Next to the Roger House is ROSE COTTAGE, built in 1891 by a hard-working former slave woman by the name of Adeline Rose. Legend has it that women could not take out loans at a bank and certainly not a black woman. But Adeline Rose was so respected for her arduous work ethic of washing and ironing linens for local hotels that she was granted a $100 loan to help build her modest home, which only consisted of three rooms. Only two furnishings are Adeline's: a portrait of her and a quilt made with her own two hands. You will notice the quilt says, "Jesus Saved" with the second 'S' on Jesus turned backwards signifying how a person's life turns toward Jesus when they become a follower. We then ate lunch @ Big Kev's where the catfish was some of the best I've ever had and walked off the calories visiting different businesses surrounding Madison Town Park. Cindy loves antiquing, so we wound up in a little store off Jefferson street called The Junque Korner. The park itself was lovely with different garden vignettes, huge lawn area and a stage. OTHER HISTORY Aside from its beauty, there are people from here and movies filmed here that you are likely famil”
