Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center (MJTC) is a juvenile psychiatric facility of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, located in the Lorenz Hall Annex on the grounds of the Mendota Mental Health Institute (MMHI) in Madison, Wisconsin. It has space for 29 patients. The inmates at Mendota usually have anti-social personality disorders who do not feel empathy, guilt, nor remorse. It uses the Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center Program. The impetus for the facility's creation was an increase in violent crime perpetrated by minors. It was established in 1995 by two psychologists, Michael Caldwell and Greg Van Rybroek. It was deliberately staffed with psychologists instead of regular prison guards; while most facilities for delinquent and criminal youth are operated by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, MJTC is under the health services department instead.

The Robert M. Lamp Cottage, also known as Rocky Roost, was a summer cottage on a small island on Lake Mendota in Madison, Wisconsin. The cottage was designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright for boyhood friend, Robert M. Lamp (1866–1916), for whom Wright also designed the Lamp House in Madison. There was a cottage on the island by 1893, and there is some disagreement on whether Wright had something to do with its construction. By the turn of the century, several cottages were constructed on the small island and it is known that in 1901–02, Wright tied the cottages together into one structure, which is the known cottage for Robert Lamp that appears in postcards and photographs. The cottage was a two-story tall building with horizontal siding and a wrap-around porch on the second floor. In 1902–03, a windmill was added on the island to bring water to the cottage. Evidence points toward the cottage burning in late 1934 to early 1935. According to Wright scholar, John O. Holzheuter, in "Frank Lloyd Wright designs for Robert Lamp": A search of newspapers and fire department records for Waunakee (the department that technically should have taken the call) proved fruitless for establishing a date ... Because no taxes were paid on the building for 1935, it can be deduced that the fire occurred after May 15, 1934 and before May 15, 1935. No physical evidence of the cottage or windmill remains.

The Halvorson Mound Group is a group of Native American mounds in Yahara Heights County Park in Madison, Wisconsin. The group includes panther- and bear-shaped effigy mounds as well as an oval-shaped mound; a second panther mound and a linear mound were also once part of the site but were destroyed by farming. The remaining panther mound is a relatively large example at 228 feet (69 m) long. The mounds were built by Late Woodland people roughly between 800 and 1100 A.D. Charles E. Brown and Rev. F. A. Gilmore conducted the first survey of the mounds in 1911.The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 1993.

Lake View Sanatorium is a former tuberculosis sanatorium at 1204 Northport Drive in Madison, Wisconsin. Before the introduction of antibiotics, sanatoria were used to isolate tuberculosis patients from the general public and provide them with a supportive environment in which to recover. The state of Wisconsin had a state sanatorium supplemented by a series of county and private sanatoria; as Dane County had a large private sanatorium, it lagged behind other counties in opening a public one, but the financial benefits of operating its own sanatorium convinced the county to build Lake View Sanatorium in 1929–30. The sanatorium was designed by local architects Law, Law, & Potter with the assistance of E.A. Stubenrauch, a Milwaukee architect with experience designing sanatoriums; while the building is mainly functional, it features some Art Deco elements. The building's facilities included 125 beds for patients, an operating room, facilities for outpatient care, and a large porch; as fresh air was considered the best treatment for tuberculosis at the time, patients generally spent their days and even many nights on the porch. As antibiotics made sanatoria increasingly obsolete from the 1940s onward, use of the facility declined until it closed in the 1960s; the building is now used by the Dane County Department of Human Services.The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 15, 1993.

The lake borders Madison on the north, east, and south, Middleton on the west, Shorewood Hills on the southwest, Maple Bluff on the northeast, and Westport on the northwest. Lake Mendota acquired its present name in 1849 following a proposal by a surveyor named Frank Hudson, who claimed to be familiar with local Native American languages; Lyman C. Draper, the first corresponding secretary of the Wisconsin Historical Society, proposed that 'Mendota' could have been a Chippewa word meaning 'large' or 'great.'
