Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The airport was closed sometime between 1998 and 2002. It was last depicted on the 1998 Washington Sectional Chart and was absent from the 2002 edition.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small private airfields. Closure was likely due to private owner-related reasons, such as the sale of the property, the owner's retirement or death, or the rising costs and liability of maintaining a private airstrip. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident, environmental issues, or military conversion.

Current Status

The site is now private property, functioning as a residential estate or farm. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows that the distinct outline of the former turf runway is still clearly visible as a well-maintained, large, mowed grass field. The land is used for residential and likely agricultural or recreational purposes. Any original airport buildings, such as hangars, have likely been repurposed as barns or outbuildings for the private residence.

Historical Significance

Anderson Airport was a small, private turf airstrip of local significance, primarily serving general aviation. It was owned and operated by the Anderson family (W.E. and W.D. Anderson). First appearing on aeronautical charts around 1970, it featured a single unpaved runway with a length of approximately 2,200 feet. Its operations were limited to personal, recreational flying for the owners and their associates using light, single-engine aircraft. It did not support commercial services, a flight school, or significant public-facing operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Anderson Airport. The land is privately owned and has been integrated into a residential estate. Given that the airport has been officially closed for over two decades and the land has been repurposed, its return to aviation service is considered extremely unlikely.
