About this property

The Wadsworth in National Historic District of Madison, Indiana.

The Wadsworth House was built in the mid-1800s. It is a fully renovated and modern Shotgun house in a quiet part of town on the east side, walkable to all events, to the river, and to shops/boutiques on Main St. Some folks living around have been living in the area all their lives. The Wadsworth House is situated on a charming tree-lined street with lots of character. Besides being a family name, it is also named The Wadsworth House in honor of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, whose poems I was forced to recite in the 5th grade! Hated it then, appreciate it now :)

One of the original owners, a carpenter, moved into the house in 1907 and added the side hall onto the east side of this shotgun house, giving it the privacy needed for the family. He had immigrated from Germany and took a job working at the button factory in town. Hardwood floors, a modernized full kitchen with granite countertops, and king-sized beds with full tiled bathrooms make this house a comforting getaway.

Our short but rewarding stay in Madison, IN

We live in East Central IN, and have found Madison IN to be wonderful place for a quick get away, or for a week or more as there is plenty to do. But the best part of trip was the Wadsworth house. It is big enough for 2 couples very comfortably, but the amenities, the quality of the bedding, appliances, the way the house has been kept up is truly exceptional. It is so quiet and comfortable. It is a great place to come home to, whether it is as you're getting done with your road trip to Madison, or after a day of hiking Cliffty Falls State Park, or a hard day of exploring the shops of Madison. We have found our go to house in Madison when we come here. You will not be disappointed!

About the host

Hosted by Mona Matheney

I grew up in Madison! I lived on the west end of town and attended Lydia Middleton. I remember all the homes and alleys and lying on the river bank watching the slow-going Delta Queen moving along like a floating palace. Every summer day, I dreamed of how I would own one of the magnificent old houses, particularly the Shotgun House! When I graduated, I married and left for 50 years! My husband and I returned home to Madison two years ago after we retired, and are loving it!

Why they chose this property

I love quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods in a small town. I live near The Wadsworth and am very happy with the laid-back personalities of the neighbors around me. The nightlife and music are amazing in Madison, and so many places to go and see. I will have all the restaurants listed in my welcome book and flyers for you to review. The wineries are informative and delicious. Sallies Small Batch Ice Cream is homemade at their family dairy farm and is alone enough reason to come for a memorable and relaxing time in Historic Madison, Indiana! Enjoy!

What makes this property unique

The Wadsworth is clean and quiet. It was built in the mid-1800s and was owned by one of my neighbor's grandfathers. He immigrated from Germany and worked at the Button factory. Although this Shotgun house has been renovated on the inside to be modern, it is still easy to reminisce about the folks who came before us and settled in this area for a promising new start.
