The Town Of Madison NH
Madison is a town in Carroll County, New Hampshire, United States. The
population was 1,984 at the 2000 census. Madison includes the village
of Silver Lake.
This area was one of the first to have land grants set aside for
soldiers who had survived the French and Indian War. The land covered
by these grants, parts of Eaton and Albany, was incorporated in 1852 as
"Madison," in honor of President James Madison, who was born 100 years
earlier.
The town is home to the Madison Boulder, the largest known glacial
erratic in New England, and among the largest in the world. Madison
Boulder is a huge granite rock measuring 83 feet in length, 23 feet in
height above the ground, and 37 feet in width. It weighs upwards of
5,000 tons. A part of this roughly rectangular block is buried,
probably to a depth of ten to twelve feet. It is located at a state
park in the northwest part of town.
