The airport was established by its namesake, James Hartness, who donated the land as the first airfield in Vermont.[2] After his trans-Atlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh toured the United States in the Spirit of St. Louis to promote aviation. He landed in Springfield on July 26, 1927, in his visit to Vermont and spoke at a large gathering at the airport.[3]
