History
It was originally known as Berry's Dells Airport. It was built and owned by Clinton DeWitt Berry in 1928, the proprietor of Berry's Coldwater Canyon Hotel and Golf Course, now part of the Chula Vista Resort. The airport originally comprised 60 acres and was designated on government maps as beacon No. 19. It was also on the Milwaukee-Minneapolis route to the northern airways. Upon announcing the opening of the landing field on May 26, 1928, Berry said, "I look for large numbers of planes from Chicago, St. Louis and other cities to carry visitors to the Dells this summer". Clinton Berry was the uncle of Robert Irwin Berry, owner of Berry Electric Contracting Company in Chicago, Illinois. Robert Berry was the grandfather of Robert Forbis, who used the airfield many times in his Lancair Columbia 300 aircraft.
