Founded in 1917, the Madison Historical Society is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization of citizens whose mission it is "to preserve, collect, interpret, and promote the history and heritage of Madison for present and future generations."

In that effort, we own, preserve, and protect three Madison, Connecticut, properties:

• the Allis-Bushnell House on the historic Boston Post Road,
• the Lee Academy on the historic town green,
• and the pre-Revolutionary Smallpox Cemetery.
