Geography and history
Maytown is located just south of Ezel, Kentucky. It is home to the Carl and Norma Lil' Opry House and the old gas station run by the two. It hosted a church but is no longer in operation. There is a small sawmill east of Maytown that is still in use, however. The town's primary power source is the Maytown Power Station, due north of Ezel. It is commonly confused with the city in Floyd County of the same name.
