Anthony Private Airport

The specific reason for closure is not documented in public records. For small, private airfields of this nature, closure is typically due to the owner's personal decision, such as the sale of the property to a non-pilot, the owner's retirement from flying, or the death of the owner. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed for economic, military, or safety-related incidents.

The site is now private residential property. Satellite imagery confirms that the former turf runway is completely overgrown with grass, shrubs, and small trees, rendering it unusable for any aviation activity. The buildings on the property appear to be a private home and associated outbuildings. The land is used for residential and recreational purposes.

Anthony Private Airport had no major historical significance. It was a small, privately owned and operated turf airstrip intended for personal, recreational use. Operations would have been limited to light general aviation aircraft, such as single-engine propeller planes, flown by the owner and invited guests. The ICAO identifier 'US-10006' is not an official FAA or ICAO code but rather an identifier assigned by third-party data aggregators for cataloging purposes. The airport was never a public-use facility and did not handle commercial or military traffic.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Re-establishing an airstrip would require significant investment from the private landowner and recertification. Given its proximity to the public-use Richard B. Helgeson Airport (KTWM) just a few miles away in Two Harbors, there is no practical demand or likelihood of it being reopened.
