Mays is a small countryside community in Rush County where quiet roads, sunrise fields, and long-standing farmsteads set a relaxed pace. Daily conveniences and services sit just down the road in Rushville, with regional hubs like Knightstown, New Castle, and Greenfield an easy drive for work, shopping, and dining.
Families appreciate the strong sense of community found in and around Mays. Students are served by Rush County Schools, known for close-knit classrooms, FFA and agriculture programs, and spirited athletics at the county level. Health needs are covered by Rush Memorial Hospital in Rushville, while the Rush County Public Library offers storytimes, makerspace activities, and a full slate of lifelong-learning programs.
Weekends here favor the outdoors.
