Our History
The Southern Indiana Folk School was established in 2014 is part of the Jefferson County Historical Society. The classroom is located on the lower level of the History & Art Center building. The school is located in picturesque Madison, Indiana. Madison has over 1800 historic buildings which overlooks the Ohio River. Early on Madison became a melting pot of cultures and traditions. The immigrants brought with them their crafts including iron, tin, and copper works, textiles, handmade toys and furniture, woodworking, and pottery. Many examples of locally produced and handmade items are in the collections at the Jefferson County Historical Society History & Art Center.
