See the home where famous aviator Charles A Lindbergh spent his boyhood summers on the Mississippi River; as a boy, he tinkered in the basement with mechanical projects of all kinds; later, his aspirations brought him a job flying the mail. Lindbergh disappeared in 1927, alone in a single-engine plane, over the Atlantic Ocean before emerging safely at Paris. Join a tour of the home and the grounds where he spent his youth. The house, built in 1906, contains original furnishings and family possessions; an on-site visitor center features a gift shop. The house is located at Charles A. Lindbergh State Park, 2 miles south of Little Falls on Lindbergh Drive. Hours vary seasonally; closed winter and spring. Call for scheduled events and times.
