The Dodgeville Municipal Airport was a municipal airfield near Dodgeville, Wisconsin. It operated from approximately 1967 until around 1989–1990. The property was later acquired by a local construction firm. As of 2017, the runway, ramp, and hangar still exist, with the outdoor paved surfaces being used for equipment storage. The only surviving airport in Iowa County, Wisconsin, is located in Mineral Point.
Built at some point between May and December 1967, it operated as a small, unpaved municipal airport called Governor Dodge Quinn Airport. The exact date is unknown as it doesn't appear on the Milwaukee Sectional Chart until December 1967. It was later renamed Dodgeville at some point within the next 3 years according to the May 1970 Milwaukee Sectional Chart.
The Dodgeville Airport closed (for reasons unknown) at some point between 1989 and 1990, as it wasn't depicted on the May 1990 or April 1994 Chicago Sectional Charts.[1]
