Perry Hall's Past: May Day Celebrations

Historical photos reveal May Day celebrations outside Perry Hall Elementary School from the 1950s.

It just wouldn't be spring without frilly dresses and kids gathered around the maypoles—at least not in Perry Hall more than 50 years ago.

Baltimore County Public Library Legacy Web includes photos of May Day celebrations—traditionally held May 1—outside in 1957 and 1958. Photographer Marjorie Miller captured images of dozens of children participating in the events.
