About the Costigan House
The Costigan House, built in 1851, is recognized as a triumph of design for a home on a 22- foot wide lot. This historic house museum incorporates space-saving features such as a sliding pocket front door, a postage-stamp-sized entry, and a unique step-ladder staircase to create a 16’ x 32’ parlor.
Francis Costigan, the home’s designer, is perhaps Indiana’s best pre-Civil War architect. Costigan also designed the Lanier Mansion and the Shrewsbury House, both designated as National Historic Landmarks. The Costigan house is considered one of his most unique architectural projects. Historic Madison, Inc., owns and operates the property.

From his funky, percussive playing style that conjures an image of a one-man version of STOMP to lush instrumentals reminiscent of Michael Hedges/Phil Keaggy, his performance blends multiple musical genres and vocals along with some techno fun to create a sound all his own. He is the winner of Guitar Center’s “Guitarmageddon”. Chosen from among 3,000 entrants the singer-songwriter performed at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads 2004 where he shared the stage with many legendary guitarists. Through out a performance Michael may make use of technology, his improv skills, objects in the room, and audience interaction to make music for the ears but more importantly a musical experience for the senses.

Celebrate Women’s History Month With A Tour!
In honor of Women’s History Month in March, Historic Madison, Inc. will be offering a special program featuring a tour of 3 sites and multiple women who helped protect our Madison history. “The Women Who Saved” will take place on Saturday, March 22 from 1 to 4 PM. Like many communities in America, some of the first people to step up and save buildings in Madison were women. In the early twentieth century, many women began to protect, repurpose, and share Madison’s amazing sites. Some are known statewide while others are barely known in Madison today. During this program, we will explore their roles, history, and stories focusing on more than five women who once called Madison their home and passion.
The guided tour will start at Dr. Hutchings’ Office (120 W. Third Street), move to the Sullivan House, and finish at the Shrewsbury-Windle House. Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for HMI Members, and students are free. Tickets will be available through March 21 on MadTix. All proceeds from this event will benefit preservation efforts for HMI’s many properties in downtown Madison.

About Electric Blue Yonder
Electric Blue Yonder (EBY) researches the human condition and reports its findings through harmonious song. Exploring what it means to be human while discovering the mysteries of the universe, the intrepid band of Space Folk seeks to find others of their kind. Human. Kind. Described as “Real American Space Folk,” the band draws its inspiration from the psychedelic folk, surf, and cosmic country rock of the 60s and the Space Age prog/art rock explorations of David Bowie and Pink Floyd, all while shifting time to the early roots and parlour style guitar of the 20th century. The result is a genre-bending mix that captures a nostalgic familiarity while simultaneously transporting you into uncharted territory.
