Bock Airport in Lincoln to be the topic of a special program hosted by the Logan County Genealogical & Historical Society September 14th

 

[September 08, 2023] 

Lincoln native and retired Pilot John Fuller will be showing a video of the former Henry Bock Airport at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 14, during a special meeting of the Logan County Genealogical & Historical Society.

Fuller will present a history of Logan County's first commercially viable airport, which was located a half mile west of Lincoln at the site of the current Walmart plaza.

He will also open the meeting to those wishing to relate their interactions with the Bock Airport and show memorabilia.

The local airport enthusiast plans to document information attained at this meeting and submit it to a national website featuring abandoned and little known airfields.

The Society building is located at 114 N. Chicago St., across the street from the Lincoln Depot and Tourism Bureau. Fuller now resides in Florida.

The LCGHS plans to hold its regular meeting Monday, Sept. 18, at the Lincoln Heritage Museum. More details on that meeting will be forthcoming.
