Madison, Wisconsin · Decade built

Madison in the 1900s

McKinley was assassinated in 1901 and Theodore Roosevelt served until 1909. The San Francisco earthquake and fire destroyed much of that city in 1906, the same year the Antiquities Act gave the president power to set aside national monuments. The Wright brothers flew in 1903 and Ford introduced the Model T in 1908. What Madison kept from the decade leans to Prairie School, the label the records put on 3 of these stops.

Every stop carries a construction date in the 1900s. The route covers 10 of them and runs 2.5 miles end to end.

Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Sep 18, 2026.

Coordinates come from the National Park Service National Register spatial data. The solid line joins the stops in walking order and is not a street route. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops. Data refreshed September 19, 2026.
