Spend Christmas with the Lindberghs at the Lindbergh House

After losing re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1917, Charles Lindbergh Sr. and his family, consisting of wife Evangeline and teenage son Charles, would be spending the Charles Lindbergh Housewinter in their Little Falls home in 1918.

Step back in time and visit the Lindbergh home in "1918" as living history interpreters portray family members and hired workers. Visitors will see how the family would ready the house for Christmas and learn the political and social landscape of Minnesota in 1918 through the lives and stories of the Lindberghs. 

Come and interact as you tour the home, talk with family and their staff about why Lindbergh Sr. is no longer in Washington, recent "improvements" made to the house, the on-going World War in Europe, and what everyone’s hopes are for the new year of 1919.
