... a quaint, historic village located in the northwest corner of Lancaster County...
Maytown is a small picturesque community located in East Donegal Township. The town and township are situated in the northwestern part of Lancaster County, PA. The town's close proximity to the Susquehanna River, and Old Peter's Great Road, had a very important role in the founding and early history of Maytown.
Today, Maytown offers visitors a unique opportunity to see a town that harkens back to another time. Its architecture ranges from early log structures (25 plus log homes still exist) to 19th century buildings that were built with brick produced here in Maytown.
The Maytown Historical Society would like to thank all who attended. . . for the success of our
Winter Festival
on Dec. 10th, 2011. We look forward to another successful festival in Dec. 2012.
A commerative DVD of Maytown's 250th anniversary celebration has been produced by the Maytown Historical Society. Using several hundred still photos and video recordings from local residents, every aspect of the 4 day celebration has been recorded and transformed into this commerative DVD.
Whether you were here in Maytown and enjoyed the celebration or not, this is a great way to preserve those wonderful memories, and a part of Maytown history. The DVD's are available for sale at the Maytown-East Donegal Museum.
