Check It Out: Yankee Magazine Described Its Weekend In Madison

MADISON, CT — Yankee Magazine spent the weekend in Madison and wrote about it for New England Today.

Saying a visit to Madison "lets you experience a seaside town where nature and culture live side by side," the story begins with a Friday arrival where a visitor establishes a "beachhead," and ends with a Sunday walk on the beach after brunch.

"The weekend lure of this abashedly wealthy community on Long Island Sound, of course, is the ocean," the story reads describing the public beaches, and "in its eastern reaches, Hammonasset Beach State Park, whose nearly 1,000 protected acres encompass woods, marshes, a river, and a two-mile-long stretch of sand."

Finding crocuses as an early sign of spring, the article is a tease of what's to come: "In early spring, when much of northern New England remains snowbound, Madison, Connecticut, feels like a gift from the future."

The weekend is laid out and includes everything a visitor or a local needs to know about where to stay, what to visit, where to dine and where to shop and includes one of our favorites, the Audubon Shop.
