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.
Visit us! We are open for special events throughout the year, and for public tours on the first and third Saturday of each month (March – December) from 11 am to 1 pm.
