Freedom Field

The specific reason is not officially recorded, as is common for small, private airfields. However, evidence strongly indicates the closure was due to the cessation of private flying activities by the owner. The airfield was a private grass strip located on a farm. Its subsequent conversion into cultivated cropland points to a change in land use, likely driven by the owner's retirement from flying, the sale of the property, or the economic decision to prioritize agriculture over maintaining a private airstrip.

The site of the former Freedom Field is now entirely agricultural land. The area that once served as the runway has been fully reclaimed for farming and is used as a cultivated field for crops. The faint outline of the former north-south runway is still discernible in aerial and satellite photography, but there are no remaining aviation facilities, hangars, or markings on the ground. The land is part of a private farm.

Freedom Field was a privately owned and operated turf runway. Its historical significance is local and personal, serving as a base for the owner's recreational flying activities. It did not handle any commercial, military, or public charter operations. The airfield consisted of a single north-south grass runway, approximately 2,200 feet long. It represents a typical example of the numerous private farm strips that were common across the rural United States in the latter half of the 20th century, supporting the general aviation community at a grassroots level.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Freedom Field. The land has been fully and successfully converted to agricultural use, which is likely its most economically productive purpose. Re-establishing an airport would require significant investment and the permanent removal of valuable cropland from production, making any such prospect extremely unlikely.
