Charlie Ferris Farm @ 24970 W. Beach Grove Road

And the Antioch Airport. Grass landing strip. Light colored building was hangar.

This is the Paul M Ferris Farm. Charles H Ferris was his son and a pilot. Charles started the airport on his fathers farm. The farm was also the entrance to Lake Marie Camp. The farm had lakefront on the bay of Lake Marie. The Lake County Park District now owns the property. Paul Ferris was my grandfather and Charles my Uncle.

Hi Linda,
Do you know when Lake County bought the property? Did you get to visit before the county took over?
