In 1837, the first settlement of Madison was set up and named after former president of the united states, James Madison.

They knew the land as Taychopera (Land of the four lakes), and lived in the areas around Lake Mendota, Lake Monona, Lake Kegonsa, and Lake Waubesa.

Reading texts, and listening songs or watching videos in english is much more...  [Read more]
