On July 20, 2018 The Easton Airport/ Newnam Field is celebrated it’s 75th Anniversary.

The current Airport, the third in Talbot County, was constructed for use by the military during WWII opening in July of 1943. It is one of the busiest general aviation facilities in Maryland.

The Airport and Historical Society offers thanks to the team of Assemble Co.’s Pat Rogan and Eric Gravley who artistically created the exhibit!
