Three miles east of town is the site of the former Arlingtion Auxiliary Army Air Field #4,[7] one of many former Colorado World War II Army Airfields. The triangular shape of the runways is not only visible from the air, but also visible from the county road. The E/W runway still has large sections of asphalt and the vegetation has noticeable changes along the runway.
