The Deacon John Grave House (1685) on the Boston Post Road is one of the oldest houses in Connecticut — home to the Grave family for nine generations, until 1978.
So Madison gathers the state's biggest beach, one of its oldest greens, a 1685 saltbox, and a main street with a nationally loved bookstore onto one stretch of Sound shore — and our Madison designs gather that into wearable form. Whether Madison is your hometown, your beach, the green you crossed a thousand times, or the town you still mean to come back to, wear the history. On Hammonasset shore since 1641.
Why People Visit Madison Connecticut
Madison offers the longest shoreline beach park in Connecticut on a peninsula named for the Hammonassett people who farmed it for centuries, a Town Green that has been the center of the village since 1641, a 17th-century saltbox house museum a few doors off the green, an 1838 Greek Revival church, a long-running town library, and a nationally-cited independent bookstore on the same Boston Post Road that has run through town since the colonial era. Visitors come for the beach, the green, the architecture, the bookstore, the marshes, the lower-Hammonasset estuary, the author events, and the simple shoreline rhythm of a New England town that has been holding the same compact center for nearly four hundred years. On Hammonasset shore since 1641.
