Society Honors Martin Heller at Gala

On April 11th, the Madison Historical Society held its 2nd successful fundraising gala to establish the Madison History Museum. This year’s event honored Mr. Martin Heller who contributed $1,000,000 to the Borough of Madison to purchase the Masonic Lodge. Through his generosity, one of the oldest buildings in Madison was saved from demolition and will now serve the community as the new Peggy Heller Senior Center.

The Historical Society would like to thank our attendees and the following Sponsors for their support of our event and of the Madison History Museum due to be open in 2027 in the East Wing of the Hartley Dodge Memorial.
