On October 4, 2025 Madison Historical Society of Ohio was able to have their sundial returned after 32 years, when in 1993 it was moved to the lawn of Lake County Courthouse to reduce the chance of vandalism. The sundial was originally placed at Madison Home 100 years ago on Saturday, October 24, 1925 during a conference of the Women's Relief Society.  From 1904 to 1962 the state ran this building as it was run since 1889, for the needy widows, mothers and children of Ohio’s veterans. They named this building the Madison Home.

Cheryl Swackhammer, president of the Madison Historical Society, opened the rededication ceremony and thanked everyone who had made the sundial's move back to Madison possible. The return of the dial was spearheaded by Kenneth Gauntner, a former Madison Township trustee's and Lake County administrator.

The circular bronze dial with open gnomon sits on a tapered pedestal 3ft (1m) high with a bonze plaque on the pedestal recording the dedication for the Women Relief Society 100 years ago.
