LITTLE FALLS, Minn (June 1, 2026) – A new partnership will expand tourism and visitor engagement efforts at the Charles Lindbergh House and Museum just in time for the 100th anniversary of Lindbergh’s historic flight in 2027.

The partnership between the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS) and Little Falls Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism will include:

The Chamber will assist with daily visitor experience, local programming, museum tours, and site operations
MNHS will continue to own and maintain the historic site while providing statewide marketing and institutional support
The Lindbergh House historic site will remain part of MNHS’s broader historical sites network

“We look forward to working closely with the Chamber to provide greater access and understanding of Minnesota history,” said MNHS Senior Director of Historic Sites Ben Leonard. “This partnership strengthens MNHS’s established network of relationships with community partners across our historic sites.”

“This partnership creates an exciting opportunity to strengthen tourism, enhance visitor experiences, and continue sharing Little Falls’ unique story with travelers from across the region and beyond,” said Purva Watten, President/CEO of the Little Falls Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism.

The Lindbergh House historic site is anticipated to open for the 2027 season beginning May 21, 2027 — commemorating the centennial anniversary of Lindbergh’s landing in France following his historic 33-hour flight across the Atlantic.
