Greenway, also known as Prospect Hill, is a historic home and farm complex located at Madison Mills, Madison County, Virginia. The original section was built about 1780, and is a 1 1/2-story, heavy timber frame structure, on a hall-and-parlor plan. A shed-roofed rear addition was added shortly before 1800. A rear wing was added in the early-20th century and enlarged in 1986. Also on the property are the contributing wood frame dairy / maids house; brick dairy / smokehouse; pumphouse (c. 1920); garage, corncrib, and the Madison/Taliaferro family cemetery. Greenway was built by Francis Madison, brother of President James Madison.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
