Born and raised in Monroe County, Donald "Deke" Slayton served in the Army Air Corps during the WWII, and was a US Air Force test pilot during the 1950s. In 1959, he was chosen as one of the elite 7 who made up America's first group of astronauts - the Mercury 7. This permanent biographical exhibit examines the accomplishments of Monroe County's most famous son - before, during and after his crucial years at the National Aeronautic and Space Administration.
