Peach State Aerodrome is located in picturesque rural Pike County, 27 nautical miles (50 km) south of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

[2] In addition to hosting various annual fly-in events oriented towards vintage and unusual aircraft, Peach State Aerodrome serves as home to the Barnstormer's Grill restaurant, popular with transient pilots and local residents.

Adjacent to the airport is Peach State Airpark, a subdivision for pilots who share interest in experimental, warbird or antique aircraft.

In 1967, Carl Hoffman bought a peach tree orchard on the current location of Alexander Memorial Airport, with the intent of building an airfield from which he could easily reach Atlanta.

[3] Pike County tax records show that Bobby Tisdale bought the airport March 14, 1979, and later sold it to Lynford and Brenda Sullivan on August 3, 1990.
