On August 24, 1911 pioneer aviator, Harry N. Atwood, was forced to make an emergency landing in Nyack, New York on his flight from St. Louis to New York City. This was a big event in Nyack and many residents came to the landing site to see him and his biplane. You can read more about Atwood’s flight and his landing in Nyack in the April, 1984 edition of the South of the Mountains newsletter from the collection of the Historical Society of Rockland County.
