Three Rivers Airport History
The first recorded site of the Three Rivers Airport was located on the east side of the present Cadet/Johnson Corporation on Wood Street
In 1941, the airport moved to its second location. Dr. Blanche Haines and her husband Dr. Thomas J. Haines were prominent physicians in Three Rivers for many years. On September 15, 1941, Dr Blanche Haines gave the city of Three Rivers a gift of 80 acres for airport purposes. This plot of Land was located on the property now known as Armstrong Field and Three Rivers Middle School
The only condition of
the gift was
that the name
“Haines”
would
be retained
as
part of the airport name. This site was used
for
about three years. Due
to the growing of the city and the field’s rolling terrain, it
was found
advisable to
look for
a different site that was more
suitable
for an airfield.
That land
was
then
purchased from
the city by Mr.
Adam Armstrong,
founder of Armstrong Machine Works,
and was donated to the City School
System to be used,
for
an athletic field.
Records
show
that the
third,
and
present
site, of the
airport was
donated by Dr. Blanche Haines to the city once again for airport
purposes on
August 14,
1944. This farmland
consisted of 160 acres
and
according to
the records
“couldn’t raise a
good
crop of sand
burrs.”
In 1958, the city purchased an additional 38 acres of land, known as the Brundige property. Later in 1958, the city entered into a 10-year lease agreement with an option to buy from Lawrence and Dennis Armstrong. The 80 acres was located northwest of the original 160 acres. In 1968, the city took the option and purchased the property. The city also purchased 1 2.44 acres rounding out the fi nal parcel to its present size of 290 acres.
