Other Madison Historical Society Ornaments
A three-inch faceted crystal round printed with the Madison Historical Society’s bicentennial seal — the Society’s weathervane emblem in fine crosshatch, ringed in navy for America’s 250th and in red for Madison 200, and dated 2026. Each ornament arrives in a white or gold gift box with a ribbon, ready to hang or to give.
Two anniversaries fall in the same year. In 2026 Madison marks two hundred years since its incorporation as a town in its own right, and the United States marks two hundred and fifty since its founding. That is why the seal carries both, navy above and red below, with the weathervane held between them. The Society has built a year of lectures, exhibits and commemorations around the pair, in partnership with the town’s Madison 200 committee. This is the small, keepable version of it — one of three ornaments issued for the bicentennial year, each dated 2026.
Sold at the Madison Center for Culture & History at Lee’s Academy, 14 Meetinghouse Lane, Madison, CT.
About the Madison Historical Society
The Madison Historical Society preserves, interprets, and celebrates the stories of the town as told through its people, artifacts, architecture, and landscapes. It sponsors public programs, maintains its historic properties and collection, and advocates for the preservation of Madison’s historic structures and places.
The Society was founded in 1917 after a chance conversation between two residents on a summer afternoon, and drew more than a hundred charter members within weeks. It acquired the Allis-Bushnell House in its first years, later saved Lee’s Academy — Madison’s first high school — from demolition and moved it to the town green, and today also stewards the Smallpox Burying Ground. It is the oldest civic organization in Madison.
