Madison-Morgan Cultural Center

Located in the heart of Madison, Georgia’s historic district, the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center is a non-profit organization that is home to both a history museum and a visual and performing arts facility. The building’s history dates all the way back to 1895 and served as one of the first graded schools until 1957, meaning that it allowed students to have separate classrooms for each of the grade levels.

The Madison-Morgan Cultural Center models history both inside and out. Their permanent exhibits include the 1895 Schoolroom Exhibition allowing visitors to view original desks, blackboards, and other accessories, and the Arts and Crafts Gallery includes pottery, lamps, metalware, and other pieces from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In addition, the Piedmont History Museum provides an inside look at the development of the area including how it came to be and the typical lifestyle of many individuals. Come and see the 1875 Winship and Brother Cotton Gin that represents the significance of cotton in the South.

The Hall on Foster at the Center includes a rental space perfect for a variety of different events. Contact them today to book a wedding, family reunion, corporate meeting or other special events.
