Lindbergh State Park is a 569 - acre (2.3 km2) Minnesota state park on the outskirts of Little Falls . The park was once the farm of Congressman Charles August Lindbergh and his son Charles Lindbergh, the famous aviator . Their restored 1906 house and two other farm buildings are within the park boundaries . The house, a National Historic Landmark, and an adjacent museum are operated by the Minnesota Historical Society, known as the Charles Lindbergh House and Museum . Three buildings and three structures built by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s were named to the National Register of Historic Places . These buildings include a picnic shelter and a water tower, built in the Rustic Style from local stone and logs, and have remained relatively unchanged since construction . Although the property includes shoreline on the Mississippi River, the Lindbergh family requested that the park not include intensive use areas for swimming or camping, so development was kept to a minimum . </P> <P> Charles August Lindbergh, known as C.A., was a prominent lawyer and real estate trader in Little Falls . In March 1901 he married Evangeline Lodge Land, the college - educated descendant of two notable Detroit medical families, who had come to Little Falls the previous autumn as a teacher . She, C.A., and his two daughters from a previous marriage moved to a property, which C.A. had purchased for a dairy farm three years earlier . They had a three - story house built on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi River . A tenant's house was built across the road for the farm workers . Charles Augustus Lindbergh was born in 1902, and would be the couple's only child . A barn was built later that year, and the farm was populated with cattle, goats, hogs, sheep, chickens, and pigeons as well as cats and dogs . </P>
