The Maytown Historical Society (MHS) Museum's newest exhibit features the artwork of Dolores Hackenberger. Hackenberger, who has been referred to as the "Grandma Moses of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country," has painted the colorful Amish people and culture for many years. Her distinctive folk-art style vividly depicts the simple and charming traditions of the Amish neighbors with whom she has worked and visited throughout her life in southeastern Pennsylvania.

Hackenberger has won or received awards in 20 of 25 competitive shows in which she entered from 1960 onward. She loves antiques and preservation, and her paintings reflect her interest and her talent. She currently lives in Maytown with her daughter.

The MHS Museum will be open on Sundays in May from 2 to 4 p.m. It is located at 4 W. High St. in Maytown, less than a block from the square. Notecards featuring Hackenberger's artwork are available for purchase.
