Gigantic oaks shade a beautiful
park with fountains, gazebo
and a confederate civil war
memorial. Just across the
street (highway 90) is a
quaint downtown district,
anchored with a stately and
historic courthouse. (right)



Nearby, an antebellum mansion preserves the Old South's legacy and offers tours. Just out of town explore  O'Toole's Herb farm,  (above)and Blue Springs with sparkling clear waters open
to swimmers and divers. 

Madison is on old Route 90,
east of Tallahassee and
North of I 10.


 

Madison

Located about an hour east
of Tallahassee is the sleepy Mayberry-like town of Madison. Pleasantly lost
  in time it is a refreshing departure from the hubub.



Brick store fronts dating
from the early 20th century
characterize the unhurried pace of Madison. 



Take a detour off the interstate and explore
Madison. Spend the night
 at the elegant Grace Manor (above)in nearby Greenville, the childhood home of
Ray Charles.
