Tallassee Airport
Tallassee Airport is a closed airport located south of Tallassee, Alabama, United States. History The airport was built about 1941 as one of two satellite airfields to the Army pilot school at Tuskegee Army Airfield. It was designated Griel Army Auxiliary Airfield #1 and was named after the original landowner. Griel Field was not yet built when its parent field (Tuskegee AAF) commenced training operations The field was said to not have any hangars and was apparently unmanned unless necessary for aircraft recovery. After the war the airfield reverted to private ownership and became Tallassee Airport. Not much is known about the airport, which was closed sometime during the 1970s.

Tallassee (Cherokee Town)
Tallassee (also "Talassee," "Talisi," "Tellassee," and various similar spellings) is a prehistoric and historic Native American site in present-day Blount and Monroe counties, Tennessee in the southeastern United States. Tallassee ( chr, ᏔᎵᏏ, translit=Talisi) was the southernmost (and furthest upriver) of a string of Overhill Cherokee towns that existed along the lower Little Tennessee River on the west side of the Appalachian Mountains in the 18th century. Although Tallassee receives scant attention in primary historical accounts, it is one of the few Overhill towns to be shown on every major 18th-century map of the Little Tennessee Valley. Salvage excavations conducted in the 1950s prior to construction of a dam on the Little Tennessee River also revealed much earlier indigenous habitation here, dating to the Woodland period (1000 B.C.–1000 A.D.). The site was occupied throughout much of the South Appalachian Mississippian culture period (900–1600 A.D.). A pre ...
