East Dayton Airport Gone but Not Forgotten Thanks to Group

Summary

---

In the 1930s, there was a little airport in Riverside called the East Dayton Airport. It sat near the present day intersection of Woodman Drive and Airway Road, in the shadow of the larger Wright Air Field. The small airstrip was abandoned in 1941, and forgotten by many. But, not by the folks at the Riverside Historical Society Museum in the Airway shopping center. They have a ring-binder containing pictures and maps of the East Dayton Airport.

The museum includes military displays, information about Riverside families including Norman Weiffenbaugh, an early mayor of Riverside and the father of Virginia Kettering, a one typewriter, photographs of historic sites, a propeller, plus numerous other artifacts.
