The exact closure date is not officially documented. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the runway was clearly defined and maintained through at least 2016. By the early 2020s, the runway shows signs of disuse, with the turf becoming less distinct from the surrounding fields. Therefore, the airport likely ceased operations and fell into disuse sometime between 2017 and 2020.
As a private-use airfield, the specific reason for its closure is not on public record. The most probable reason is the cessation of aviation activities by the property owner. This is common for private strips and can be due to the owner selling the property, no longer being able to fly (due to age or health), or finding the cost of maintaining an aircraft and runway prohibitive. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to an accident, regulatory action, or conversion for military or commercial purposes.
The site remains part of the private Frog Hollow Farm property. The physical turf runway is no longer maintained for aviation. While its outline is still visible from the air, it has effectively reverted to being a simple field or pasture. There are no airport facilities, hangars, or markings remaining on the strip itself. The land is used for agricultural or residential purposes consistent with the surrounding farm.
Frog Hollow Farm Airport was a small, private airfield with no major historical significance. Its purpose was to serve the personal, recreational aviation needs of the owner of the Frog Hollow Farm property. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine general aviation aircraft, such as a Piper Cub, Cessna, or similar plane suitable for landing on a turf runway. It never supported commercial, cargo, or military operations and was not open to the public.
There are no known or published plans to reopen Frog Hollow Farm Airport. The reopening of a private airfield is entirely at the discretion of the current landowner. Given that it has fallen into disuse, the prospect of it being restored and reactivated for aviation is considered highly unlikely unless the property is acquired by a new owner with a specific interest and resources for private aviation.
