The Madison Farm Historic and Archeological District is a complex of historic and prehistoric Native American and colonial sites in rural Montgomery County, Virginia. It is located in and near the flood plains of the South Fork of the Roanoke River, and covers 115 acres (47 ha). Its historic artifacts include a surviving hall-parlor log house, probably built late in the 18th century by William Madison, which is one of the few of its type to survive in the county. The building was substantially modified in the 19th century, refinishing the interior and adding a two-story porch. The farm site includes a number of historic outbuildings (or remnants of same), and is a good prospect for archaeological investigation into period farming practices.
