Maysville is a town in northern Garvin County, at the intersection of Highways 74 and 19. The area was first settled in 1872 by David Mays, who bought cattle, fattened them up, and shipped them on. A post office was established here in 1878 and the town was known as Beef Creek Station. In 1901, the railroad came to a point one mile north, and the town was moved, including relocation of the post office. It was renamed Maysville after David Mays. At the time of Oklahoma Statehood in 1907, the town had a population of just over 300. It claims itself the Home of Wiley Post, "The Father of Modern Aviation" as his family lived in Maysville when the flights were made.
The current post office located at 622 Main Street, is a one-story brick building. The counter is open Monday to Friday from8:30-11:30; 12:30-4:30, and on Saturday from 9:00-10:00. The lobby and post office boxes are available 24/7.

To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
