\"\"<\/a>Growing up in Augusta, Georgia all I knew of the city of Madison was that it was about the half-way point to Atlanta. Today I exited the highway at exit 114 and drove a few miles north into downtown Madison, a city founded in 1809 that today proudly showcases over 100 antebellum homes. It is said Sherman did not burn Madison during his march to the sea after capturing Atlanta because Madison was too beautiful to burn. The truth is that Madison was the home of a pro-union senator so the city was spared even though neighboring towns were not.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Madison was named the \u201cPrettiest Small Town in America\u201d recently by a travel magazine and in 2001 it was voted the number one \u201cSmall Town in America\u201d by Travel Holiday Magazine.\n
<\/div>\n
I didn\u2019t get too many pictures of the beautiful antebellum houses even though I drove past them in my car. I didn\u2019t walk too much in town taking pictures because it was too hot! I hope you enjoy these pictures of the main square and surrounding streets.<\/div>\n
