Live Webcams in Madison

Madison, Indiana, is a steamboat-era river town on the Ohio, and the live webcams in Madison show a main street that time genuinely forgot: Italianate storefronts, cast-iron balconies, church spires, and the river a few blocks down the slope. Downtown streets are the natural subject, where the traffic is light, the awnings are original, and the light changes on brick that was laid before the Civil War. The town keeps Eastern Time, UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer, which makes a Madison lunchtime of a European evening, and the street is at its best in the golden hour before sunset, which falls after midnight in London. Every July since 1949 the Madison Regatta has raced hydroplanes on the Ohio in front of the town. October brings the leaves down on the hills above the river.
