- What occurred
- In February 1941, a special town meeting took place to allow for the purchase of up to 750 acres on Slack Hill. This land was turned into an airport, to be operated by the town while owned by the federal government. In February 1941 a special town meeting took place to allow Selectmen to purchase a maximum of 750 acres on Slack Hill. In June 1944 the Federal government turned airport over to the town. The town of Lebanon promised that full rights would remain with the Federal government. Following World War II, many improvements were made to the airports infrastructure, but today it mostly does smaller flights to areas in the northeast due to its proximity to larger airports in Manchester and Boston.
