Curtiss Northwest Airport was a small airfield at the intersection of Snelling and Larpenteur Avenues in present-day Falcon Heights.[1] One of Minnesota's first centers of aviation, it opened in 1919 and closed in 1930.[2] Curtiss Field, a city park named for the airport, still occupies a portion of the site,[3] while a nearby restaurant displays several photos of the old landing strip.[4] In 2008 St. Paul author Roger Bergerson published a comprehensive history of Curtiss Northwest Airport, which is available at online retailers, local bookstores and public libraries.[5]
