Historic Broadway Fountain

The original fountain was created in 1876 in Philadelphia and originally made out of cast iron. It was purchased and given to Madison 10 years later by the Odd Fellows. For the bicentennial celebration in 1976, it was recast into bronze. There are other copies of this fountain in Poughkeepsie, NY; Cusco, Peru; and Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia. Out of the four copies, Madison’s fountain remains the least altered of the original.
