[1] The airport was established in 1945[2] and is an example of a municipal government's desire to appropriate property for its own use using taxation methods as an alternative to eminent domain.

Twin Pine Airport covered an area of 52 acres (21 ha) and contained one runway designated 12/30 with a 2,200 x 100 ft (671 x 30 m) turf surface.

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2006, the airport had 12,000 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 32 per day.

It was home to many aircraft in its years, such as the famed Boeing 450 Stearman, nicknamed the "Red Baron", which regularly gave rides in and out of the airstrip.

[7] After the last aircraft left, artificial turf soccer fields called the Twin Pines Athletic Complex were constructed funded by the towns that purchased the property.
