History & History-related items
The family of Wiley Post lived here when he made his famous round-the-world flights. He became interested in aviation at the age of 12 when he saw an airplane at a fair in Lawton, OK. His work at the Ft. Sill air strip was just one more step in his search to fly and be near those who flew. He was the first to study high-altitude flights. He discovered the jet stream. He invented the pressurized suit, a variation of which is used in space flight today. He was truly the "Father of Modern Aviation." Maysville has honored Post by renaming the high school auditorium The Wiley Post Auditorium, as well as The Wiley Post Lake, and The Wiley Post Monument dedicated in his memory at the Kiwanis Walking Trail. See the Historical Events page for Maysville for more information on Post.
A portion of the movie "Twister" with Helen Hunt was filmed in Maysville
