The home of (John) Michael & Anna Barbara (Smith) Maize
... is located slightly over a mile east of New Berlin, PA on State Route 304; the farm passed down through several Maize generations before being sold outside the family.   It is still a working farm, and the stone barn Michael built in 1819 remains in daily use.

The home place of (John) Michael Maize, located slightly over a mile East of New Berlin, PA on State Route 304.  The huge stone barn which Michael Maize erected in 1819 is still intact and in use on the farm.  Apparently this is not the original home, but was constructed in more recent times.
