A Little Bit About Us.

Madisonville is a laid-back town that’s perfect for unwinding and de-stressing. With fewer than 5,000 residents, you will never have to content with big-city lines or traffic, regardless of what you decide to do.

Madisonville is conveniently located halfway between Houston and Dallas and about 40 miles northeast of College Station.

The city of Madisonville was named in honor of the fourth president, James Madison. However, Its nickname, “Mushroom Capital of Texas” derives from the presence of the Monterey Mushroom facility, and – as most people know it – its hosting of Texas’ biggest annual celebration of the mushroom.

Held annually in October, the mushroom festival kicks off with the Shiitake 5K Run/Walk in downtown Madisonville. Be sure and join in so you work up an appetite for all the food and drink there will be to enjoy throughout the day; From fajitas made with Monterey mushrooms to Texas wine and craft beers. There is also an auto showcase, art and photography exhibits, a kid’s zone, quilt show and live entertainment and so much more. By the end of the day, you will agree that Madisonville’s nickname is well deserved.

We have a lot to offer

Play on Lake Madison – At 75 acres, Lake Madison may not be the largest lake in Texas. However, it does offer more than its fair share of things to do in and around the water. If you’ve got a boat, get out in the water and fish for bass or catfish; lie on the deck and soak up the sun’s rays. The lake is located inside the larger Lake Madison Park, which has been updated throughout the years to make it one of the most fun places for kids and families in town. There are baseball and softball fields, walking trail, playscapes, basketball court, a fishing pier, grills for picnicking, a covered pavilion and more.
