This is a former World War II United States Army Air Forces airfield in Clarendon. The base was named after World War I pilot, First Lieutenant Remington de Bremont Vernam. It later became a training destination for jet cross country flights. In 1948, it became a base for weather reporting and housed the Military Air Transport Service. It also became a destination for long-range Strategic Air Command fighter escort aircraft. It closed in May 1949 due to budget cuts.
