West Rail Corridor Historic Architecture Walking Tour

Railroads Transform Madison

In the 19th century, the West Rail Corridor area was a hotbed of businesses that depended on the railroad to transport raw materials and finished products, as well as businesses that served railroad passengers and workers. This area, birthplace of a number of long-term Madison businesses, now abounds with repurposed historic buildings that are home to offices, renters and condo owners. Join us for a nostalgic, up-close look at Madison's railroad history through many architectural gems.

Accessibility & What to Expect: While this tour is on sidewalks and the bike path, some sections are uneven. To improve the guest experience on this tour, we will use the audio system.
