The Allis-Bushnell House (c. 1785) is a historic home property owned and maintained by the Madison Historical Society. Originally built as a one and a half story building, this home (now two full stories) operated as a home for the Allis family (1790-1825) and the Bushnell family (1825-1920) until it was sold to the Madison Historical Society in 1920. Each room exhibits distinct
period architectural features and is decorated with period furniture, domestic implements, decorative arts, and paintings that illustrate life in the house as it was during the Revolutionary War period, the Civil War period, and the Colonial Revival era.

Constructed in 1821 at a cost of $1,200, Lee's Academy was Madison's first high school. It was established for the education of young people preparing to continue their studies at college. Originally situated on a knoll at the corner of the Boston Post Road and Neck Road, the building moved four times before moving to its present location at 14 Meetinghouse Lane. Today, the building acts as the center for the Madison Historical Society's (MHS) exhibitions and educational events. Its upper level houses the MHS administrative offices and library and its lower level is an exhibition hall, recently renovated for use as the Madison Center for History and Culture.
