Fort Madison was an Amtrak train station in Fort Madison, Iowa, United States. The former Amtrak station was built in 1968 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway—commonly referred to as the "Santa Fe." Located at the east end of a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF—successor to the Santa Fe) freight yard, it was about a half hour walk away from downtown. It replaced a downtown Santa Fe complex that included a 1910 depot, Railway Express Agency (REA) building, and freight office.On December 15, 2021, Amtrak moved its operations back to the historical Santa Fe Depot, located directly in downtown Fort Madison.

The Old Fort Madison High School, also known as the Fort Madison Junior High School and Fort Madison Middle School, is a historic building located in Fort Madison, Iowa, United States. Between 1910 and 1920, the population of Fort Madison increased 35%. There was also a belief that students from the surrounding rural area would increasingly attend the city's high school. By early 1922, there was a desire to replace the 1890 Romanesque Revival high school building. A bond referendum passed in the early summer of that year, and the school district engaged the Kansas City, Missouri architectural firm of Owen, Payson and Carswell to design a new building. The building was mostly completed in mid-September 1923, with the auditorium/gymnasium located in the middle of the structure, completed in December. The three-story brick structure features a prominent front entrance at the center of the main facade, and at the roofline, there are crenulations, crockets, quatrefoil panels, and elaborate heraldic panels. Additions were built on the back of the building in 1946 and in 1959. It housed the high school program from 1923 to 1958, when the present high school building was completed. From 1958 to 2012 the building housed the junior high/middle school program. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. In 2016, the building was converted into an apartment building with 38 units.

The Moyce–Steffens House, also known as the French Creek House, is a historic residence located in Fort Madison, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The house is named for the first two owners of the house, who also substantially built it. John Moyce was a stonemason, originally from Scotland. He built the original section of the house in 1844. It was a single room dwelling that was typical of the vernacular architecture built in frontier Iowa. It is noteworthy for its finely-hewn stone cellar walls. Moyce moved to Illinois in 1848 and the house was bought by Hermann Steffens. He was a carpenter's laborer who added a single room to the northeast corner of the house. It shows the advancement in building techniques by the use of milled studs instead of the pit-sawn and hewn studs, and the absence of brace framing that are found in the original section of the house.Steffens died in 1882, and his widow Anna continued to live in the house until her death in 1904. During this time the western two rooms were added to the structure. It is possible this created a duplex as both the eastern and western sections of the house have their own front and rear entrances. This section, completed about 1892, shows further advancement in 19th-century building techniques. It utilizes balloon framing, and the brick nogging utilized in the earlier two sections is absent. The Tuscan columns found on the front porch are typical of the Colonial Revival style and replaced the original square posts with chamfered edges around 1910. Three of them were located in the cellar supporting a sagging foundation sill plate.

Union Presbyterian Church in Fort Madison, Iowa, is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and is a part of the Presbytery of East Iowa, which is part of the Synod of Lakes and Prairies. Union Presbyterian Church is designated as a Presbyterian Historic Site by the Presbyterian Historical Society. The identity statement, according to the church's website, is "An Open, Caring, Compassionate Community of Faith." The current pastor is the Rev'd John Allen T. Bankson. On March 26, 1838, less than two years after the founding of the city of Fort Madison by Gen. John Holly Knapp and his cousin, Nathaniel Rundell Knapp, the Rev. James Augustus Clark was sent by the American Home Missionary Society to organize a Presbyterian church. Clark would become the church's first pastor. The Fort Madison Presbyterian Church (as it was then known) was the second Presbyterian congregation to be founded in Iowa, after the West Point Presbyterian Church in nearby West Point, Iowa. The founding of the church was near the beginning of the Old School-New School Controversy in the Presbyterian Church, and the fledgling Fort Madison congregation split into two groups in 1840, only two years after being organized. Rev. J.A. Clark and a portion of the members joined the New School, and the remaining members joined the Old School. The two resulting congregations remained separate for twenty years. On January 2, 1860, the Old School and New School congregations merged, adopting the name Union Presbyterian Church. One of the most significant pastors in the church's history was Rev. Dr. George D. Stewart (1824–1910), who served the church from 1877 until his retirement in 1904. In 1885, under Dr. Stewart's leadership, the congregation built the brick structure at 7th Street and Avenue F in Fort Madison where it still worships to this day.
