Celebration and Uncertainty at the Lindberg Home Today

There are mixed emotions at the birthplace of Charles Lindberg today. This is the 82 anniversary of the famed aviators crossing of the Atlantic. His home in Little Falls is a featured tourist attraction for the city. However, state budget cuts may force its closing. The landmark should remain open through June, after that the future is uncertain.

The house is maintained by the Minnesota Historical Society. Their budget, along with many in the state, is being slashed to help balance the state budget, which is facing a $4.5 billion revenue shortfall.
