Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum

The microcar, born out of need, became the symbol of a people's spirit. After 1945 Europe lay in ruins. A shell-shocked population came out of the bomb shelters and faced an unimaginable scene of devastation. As if the seemingly endless task of clearing away the rubble wasn't enough, there were shortages of raw materials, electricity and gas. The astonishing rebuilding of an entire continent over a period of ten years was accomplished through a unity of spirit and purpose unimaginable today. More about the Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum

Heritage Hall

This Greek Revival home, built in 1811 by Dr. Elijah Evans Jones, is unique in Madison in that it is the only home in town with four columns flanked by two square piers. The front entry repeats the same design. Like many antebellum homes in the area, Heritage Hall was originally part of an in-town farm on four acres. The house was constructed 200 feet from its current site and moved prior to 1912 when the owner at that time sold a portion of the acreage to the Methodists for the construction of their new sanctuary.
