The Clinton F. Woolsey Memorial Airport, located approximately 5 miles north of Northport on County Road 629, will receive a dedication of Michigan Historical Marker on Wednesday, July 14, at noon. The airport is named after Clinton F. Woolsey, who died in an airplane accident in 1927 while on the Pan-American Good Will Flight to South America sponsored by the U.S. government. He was a native of Northport, and his father donated 80 acres of the family farm to Leelanau Township for an airport to honor his son.
