Chapman Field Drive

This east-west roadway (Southwest 124th Street) is named for the former Chapman Field Army Air Base established in 1918 and is currently the site of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Research Station located on Old Cutler Road along the Village’s eastern boundary. The airfield was named for World War I aviator Victor Emmanuel Chapman. The facility was transferred by the military to the USDA in 1923.
