Kind Words & Accolades
A successful girls’ trip needs three things: 1) leisurely activities that leave ample room for reminiscing; 2) great meals to linger around; and—let’s be honest here—3) a pretty backdrop or two for a group photo that you’ll retake at least six times. You’ll find all that and more in Madison, Georgia, a picturesque town of just 5,136 residents in the rural reaches of the Peach State’s Piedmont region.
Madison is drawing a new generation of residents smitten with its back-in-the-day beauty. With a population that hovers around four thousand, it’s a gold mine for lovers of architecture and Southern history that thrived in the King Cotton economy. Dozens upon dozens of vintage structures—more than fifty antebellum houses among them—all seem to come with a story.
Located about 60 miles east of Atlanta, Madison is a small town with a surprising amount to see and do, including Georgia Safari Conservation Park and a charming downtown square.
