Fort Madison is home to one of the most beautiful riverfronts along the Mighty Mississippi River. Gracing our shoreline, you will find the reconstructed Old Fort Madison, supporting displays from the Smithsonian Institute, several restored train depots, home to our historic centers, and the world's largest double-decker swing span bridge.

Fort Madison offers an abundance of recreation opportunities including walking, boating, fishing, skating and biking by way of our many beautiful community parks and Mississippi River.

Our community is adorned with wonderful architecture, which homeowners and shopkeepers take pride in keeping beautiful.

Enjoy our Fourth of July fireworks display, the nationally known Tri-State Rodeo in September and our Parade of lights over the Thanksgiving weekend.
