Roberts Field

The airport was a private-use airfield. While the exact reason is not publicly documented, the closure is consistent with common reasons for small, private strips, such as the owner's retirement from flying, death, or the sale of the property for non-aviation use. There is no evidence of a major accident, economic failure, or military conversion leading to the closure.

The site is currently private property. Satellite imagery shows the land is maintained, with the faint but clear outline of the former north/south grass runway still visible. The buildings that once served as hangars and a residence appear to still be on the property. The land is used for residential and agricultural purposes, and the former runway is now essentially a large, mowed lawn, not maintained for aviation use.

Roberts Field was a classic example of a private, general aviation grass airstrip. It was not a commercial airport and had no scheduled flights. Its primary function was to serve the private aviation needs of its owner and possibly a small number of local pilots. When active, it featured a single turf runway, designated 18/36, with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. It handled light, single-engine aircraft like Cessnas and Pipers. Its significance was local, representing the freedom and accessibility of private aviation in rural America during the latter half of the 20th century.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Roberts Field as an airport. As it has been closed for over two decades and the land is privately held and used for residential purposes, the likelihood of it ever being re-certified and reopened for aviation is virtually zero.
