I decided to work on Madison, Tennessee because I felt like my hometown needed some more representation. The sentences did not seem developed enough and the content is very general and basic. Using secondary sources, I hope to depict the town's rich history and current culture. Also, I would like to enhance this page by adding photographs and other visuals in order to keep the reader engaged and tell the story of Madison much more in-depth and much clearer.

"There are three public parks within Madison; Madison Park, Peeler Park and Cedar Hill Park." (Quote from section recreation)

There are three public parks within Madison; Madison Park, Peeler Park, and Cedar Hill Park. Madison Park is located in the center of State Route 45, Delaware Avenue, and North Dupont Avenue. Peeler Park is located off of Neelys Bend Road at the end of Overton Road. Cedar Hill Park is located at the corner of Old Hickory Boulevard and Dickerson Pike.

Another source of recreation for the Madison community is Rivergate Mall which is located at the corner of Conference Drive and Gallatin Pike North. This mall house over 130 different stores including mainstream department stores like Dillards, Macy's, and JCPenney.

Madison is commonly known for the "Hillbilly Day" festival. This festival was created as a fundraiser to benefit schools within the area. This fundraising festival included costumes, school events, and a parade. Madison's first "Hillbilly Day" was in 1953.

Madison is also home to Amqui Train Station that was built by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and serviced by the company until 1979. After L and N Railroad vacated the station, country music legend Johnny Cash and moved it from Madison to his home in nearby Hendersonville, Tennessee in Sumner County, Tennessee. The station was later returned to its original home after the passing of Johnny Cash and his wife June Carter Cash. The station now houses a museum and a visitors center for the town.
