We are collecting personal stories of Madisonians during the covid-19 pandemic
This is certainly a stressful time and it is our wish that everyone be careful and take good care of themselves. Many of us have been confined to our homes since the middle of March or 2020. Others of you may have been working outside of your homes, perhaps as front line workers. How has the covid-19 period been impacting you and your family? Your work? Are there anecdotes about things in the borough that might be of interest to future generations? As an example, I found it interesting that during the 1918 flu pandemic, Madison had to use the YMCA building on Main Street to house the sick due to overcrowding of the hospitals. The society invites you to write about your experiences during the current pandemic. Keep a journal and send a copy of it to the society at your convenience.
You can send it through our contact page (see top of this page). Or you can send to our email historicalsociety@rosenet.org
