Historic Resources

Historic Preservation Planning

The City of Madison has many historic resources that influence our quality of life. We continue to protect and manage these resources in our changing world. In Madison there are five local historic districts and 182 local landmarks. Additionally, there are many National Register Districts. These assets define the character of our neighborhoods.

The City preserves Madison's architectural heritage through the Landmarks Commission. They review alterations to local landmarks or in a local historic districts. They also review applications for new landmarks or districts.

To list a property or district, or learn more about our processes, see the Project Review page.
