"Maeystown,
where three streams descend the bluff, was founded by Jacob Maeys in 1852. The
original settlers were German members of the Forty-Eighter Movement. The village
is unique in manner with structures integrated into the landscape. The original
stone church held services intermittently in German until 1943. Sixty
significant buildings still exist, including Maeys' log house, the original
church, the stone bridge, Zeitinger's Mill, and various outbuildings, barns and
smokehouses made of limestone, brick, and wood. These buildings built in the mid
to late 1800's form this quaint little village. Maeystown was designated as an
Historic District in 1978."
