Fillmans Farms Field

The specific reason for closure is not documented in public records. For a private farm strip of this nature, the most common reasons are the owner ceasing aviation activities due to age or health, the death of the owner, or the sale of the property to a non-aviator. The closure was not related to military conversion, urban development, or a major reported accident. It simply fell into disuse and was reclaimed by the surrounding farmland.

The site of the former airfield is now active agricultural land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (40.335292, -81.488514) shows cultivated fields. There are no visible remnants of a runway, hangar, windsock, or any other aviation-related infrastructure. The land has been fully integrated back into the surrounding farm operations.

Fillmans Farms Field was a private-use turf airstrip. Its name strongly suggests it was owned by and served the Fillman family farm in Port Washington, Ohio. Its operations would have been minimal, exclusively handling light, single-engine general aviation aircraft for the personal, recreational, or agricultural purposes of its owner. It held no public or commercial significance and was not listed on most official aeronautical charts, existing primarily for the private convenience of its owner.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fillmans Farms Field. The land has been fully converted back to agricultural use, and re-establishing an airfield would require significant investment and regulatory approval. Given its long-closed status and private nature, the prospect of it ever reopening as an airport is virtually zero.
