LITTLE FALLS — The
Charles Lindbergh House and Museum
invites the community to celebrate its 50th anniversary of the
Minnesota Historical Society
’s public operation of Charles Lindbergh’s childhood home 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Sept. 30.
Highlights include house tours, special presentations, a photo booth, birthday treats, and a shuttle between the Lindbergh House and the Little Falls Airport, which is hosting a fly-in. All is included in the cost of regular site admission.
The house was opened to public visits beginning in 1931, and began offering tours in 1957.

The museum was opened in 1973 in a ceremony featuring a speech by Lindbergh himself.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
Hi, I'm the Brainerd Dispatch. I started working a few days before Christmas in 1881 and became a daily paper two years later. I've gone through a lot of changes over the years, but what has never changed is my commitment to community and to local journalism. I've got an entire team of dedicated people who work night and day to make sure I go out every morning, whether in print, as an e-edition, via an app or with additional information at www.brainerddispatch.com. News, weather, sports — videos, photos, podcasts and social media — all covering stories from central Minnesota about your neighbors, your lakes, your communities, your challenges and your opportunities. It's all part of the effort to keep people connected and informed. And we couldn't do it without support.
