[2][3] Shannon Airport covers 62 acres[4] adjacent to the American Civil War battlefield at Slaughter Pen Farm.

The airport also has full fuel service as well as self serve (Jet A and 100LL), courtesy cars, a restaurant, gift shop, and a flight school.

[2] A ditch at the end of what is now runway 24 became a key portion of the battle with hand-to-hand combat taking place before the Federal troops finally retreated.

The museum currently displays the last surviving Vultee V-1, along with other "Golden Age" aircraft such as the Pitcairn Mailwing, and Curtiss Robin.

[2][6][5] The collection was relocated to Virginia Aviation Museum at Richmond International Airport upon Sid Shannon Jr.'s death in 1981.
