Indiana - Jefferson County Historical Society

Madison, IN - Adjacent to the museum is the railroad station, an 1895 Victorian gem noted for its octagonal waiting room, which is over two stories tall and capped by a series of stained glass windows. Inside the station are displays telling the story of the Madison and Indianapolis R.R., the first railroad in Indiana. The history of the famous Madison Incline railroad cut is told with a working scale model of the Incline, and an interactive computer animation, created by the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, of the 1868 hill-climbing locomotive "Reuben Wells"
