About Joshua Sanford Field
Joshua Sanford Field was a public use airport located one nautical mile (2 km) northeast of the central business district of Hillsboro, a city in Vernon County, Wisconsin, United States. It was owned by the City of Hillsboro. The airport closed sometime in the fall of 2016, due to it being unsafe to operate from due to the nearby Land O'Lakes butter plant being expanded right off the runway threshold. The airport was no longer listed in the November 10, 2016 publication of the FAA Airport/Facility Directory.
