The closing of the Horace Williams Airport marks the end of an era
Posted Jun 5, 2018
It sits empty now, but this long stretch of asphalt on the northern edge of Chapel Hill remains full of history. With its closing on May 15, Horace Williams Airport became part of history, too. It started in 1928 when Charlie Lee Martindale bought a 50-acre plot of land from Horace Williams, a professor of philosophy at Carolina from 1890 to 1935.
