Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately 1993-1994. The airport was depicted on the 1993 Chicago Sectional Chart but was removed from the 1994 edition, indicating it was closed to aviation use during that period.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not officially documented as it was a private airfield. Closures of such private strips are typically due to private land-use decisions by the owner. Common reasons include the sale of the property, the owner ceasing flying activities, rising liability insurance costs, or the desire to convert the land for more profitable agricultural or developmental purposes.

Current Status

The airport is permanently closed and the site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows that a large, modern agricultural building has been constructed directly over the northern half of the former runway. The southern half has been converted into cultivated fields, consistent with the surrounding farmland. No visible remnants of the runway or aviation facilities remain.

Historical Significance

Trowbridge Farms Airport was a private turf airstrip that primarily served the needs of the surrounding farm and its owners. It first appeared on aeronautical charts around 1970 and was listed as a private field with a single unpaved, north/south runway measuring approximately 2,600 feet. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine general aviation aircraft for personal and recreational use, and potentially agricultural aircraft (crop dusters) supporting the farm's operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are zero plans or prospects for reopening. The land has been irreversibly repurposed for agriculture, and the construction of a permanent, large structure on the former runway path makes any future restoration as an airfield infeasible.
