Did your ancestors help make Maysville what it is today?  Don't let Maysville's history slip away!

Do you have Maysville class photos you can share?  How about pictures of historic residences or businesses in town?  Will you photocopy your deed of your historic property or email a list of previous owners to me to help establish the chain of ownership?  I'm looking for MHS class rings, graduation bulletins, church functions, advertising items, family histories, festival photos and more.  Help preserve and document Maysville's past.

How much have we lost already when long-time Maysville residents pass and their heirs toss out their papers and photos?  Please consider giving copies of your Maysville memorabilia to Todd Dorsey, Maysville's historian and researcher.  Just email todd@victorianmaysville.com.
