Henry Maier Festival Park (also known as the Henry Maier Festival Grounds or the Summerfest Grounds) is a festival park located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Park is named for Henry Maier, Milwaukee's longest-serving mayor. ==Before Summerfest==
In 1927 Maitland Airport was opened. It was one of the city's first airstrips. The airport remained in operation for more than 20 years before it was replaced by a Nike Missile installation, established during the height of '50s Cold War tensions. The site was one of eight in the Greater Milwaukee area and hosted both the AJAX and nuclear-capable Hercules missiles as a means of last resort against a possible attack by the Soviet Union. The military installation, along with a radar station at Lake Park, remained in use until 1969 when the Army closed them in an effort to reduce costs. The land was then sold to the city and became a top possible destination by Summerfest's early leaders, who worried for the fest's future after bad weather caused a poor turnout in its second year. Organizers believed that a centralized location was crucial, and the lakefront site appeared ideal. In 1970, The Harbor Commission, which took ownership of the land from the Army, constructed a deal and began leasing the site to Summerfest for one dollar a year. The recently formed Summerfest quickly set up makeshift offices from the remaining barracks and the control building.〔http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/summerfestgroundshistory.html〕
