Visit Grand Canyon Airport Historic District (Red Butte Airfield), Arizona
Within the southern area of Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, the Grand Canyon Airport Historic District includes a decommissioned airport listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The airport hangar and a handful of buildings were built between 1927 and 1928 to open air transportation and tourism to the Grand Canyon area. Over a forty-year period, the airport hosted numerous recreational visitors including Amelia Earhart, Will Rogers, and Charles Lindbergh, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Wiley Post.
The airport was closed in 1966 and replaced with the current airport in Tusayan.
