The airport was closed between 2002 and 2004. It was last depicted on the 2002 Lake Huron Sectional Chart and was no longer present on the 2004 edition of the chart.
The specific reason for the closure is not officially documented. As is common with small, privately-owned airfields, the closure was likely due to economic factors, the sale of the property for redevelopment, or the owner ceasing operations. The land was subsequently converted to agricultural use.
The site of the former Foxewood Airport is now agricultural land. All airport infrastructure, including any hangars or buildings, has been removed. Current satellite imagery shows the property is actively being farmed, though the faint, straight outline of the former north-south runway is still discernible within the fields.
Foxewood Airport (also known by the FAA private-use identifier WN61) was a small, private general aviation airfield established sometime between 1970 and 1979. It was owned by the Foxewood Corporation of Burlington, WI. The airport featured a single north/south turf runway (18/36) measuring approximately 2,600 feet long by 100 feet wide. It served the local general aviation community, catering to private pilots and their light aircraft. It never handled commercial or military traffic and its significance was purely local.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land has been fully repurposed for agriculture for nearly two decades, making a return to aviation use highly improbable.
