Madison

The capital city of Wisconsin and home of the Wisconsin Badgers…Madison is special! Madison is a beautiful city of 255,000 residents that is consistently selected as one of the best places to live in the U.S. The domed State Capitol building sits on an isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona. Whether you are looking for a local restaurant, boutique shop or some sort of entertainment, Madison is the place to be. State Street extends from the Capitol to the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s famed Bascom Hill and has great food, shopping and people! In addition to Wisconsin Badger sporting events, Madison is home to the Madison Mallards (baseball), Madison Capitols (hockey), Forward Madison FC (soccer), and Madison Radicals (ultimate disc). Madison is also home to Edgewood College and Madison College.

In downtown Madison, the Wisconsin Historical Museum documents the state’s immigrant and farming history. Also, the city’s paved Capital City State Trail runs past Monona Terrace, a lakefront convention center designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
