A WW1 Christmas

Experience what Christmas was like for the Lindberghs during World War I in this living history program. Meet costumed interpreters portraying Lindbergh family members and neighbors as they provide insights into early 20th-century holiday traditions and the challenges wartime presented. Learn about the impact of food rationing, create a Christmas decoration to take home, and write a note or draw a picture for a soldier as Charles Lindbergh might have done. Notes will be distributed to Minnesota soldiers in time for the holidays.

Visitors are encouraged to explore the gallery exhibits in the visitor center and shop for holiday items in the gift store.
