TOURISTS WRECK LINDY'S HOME IN MINNESOTA 1 Visit Reveals Devastation Wrought by Souvenir Hunters Little Falls, Minn. —(U.R)— The contemplated journey of the Lindberghs to the Orient focuses attenttion upon the past exploits of the “flying colonel.” Perhaps the least known place is Lindbergh's boyhood home, a short | distance south of here. The tourist who seeks his birthI place will be disappointed if he exi pects to find the road well marked, > i He is told to drive "west of the! i Mississippi river bridge, then turn i left at the Swedish church, this j side of Pine Grove park.” Upon following these directions the tour- I ist finds an ordinary sand road. Xfter’ following she roa’d for a mile and a half, he enters a “state game refuge," really the first effort of Minnesota to honor Lindbergh. Cardboard Sign Driving through this park, one finds, tacked to a lone evergreen tree, an old piece of cardboard on > which is printed the sign, "Picnic • Grounds,” and in smaller letters, I "Lindy’s Home.” At the left is a dilapidated frame house, boarded up, with broken windows and much writing, clearly visible even from the road. Entering the grounds an old gentleman, wearing the star of a Minnesota deputy sheriff, appeared. “You're lookin’ for Lindy’s?” he demanded. “This is it. It was a swell place once. Now look at it.” Inquiry developed the information that the Lindbergh homestead has been the object of "unwelcome tourists since Col. Charles A. Lindbergh flew his "Spirit of St. Louis” across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927. | “1 don't mind these folks that come up here and are polite,” he continued, “ but these young folks that climb into the house, and break i windows,and steal even the locks t off doors, get my goat!” He said that Minnesota, which j has taken over the grounds for the purpose of recronstructing the house in its original state, and make a state park of it,is doing what it can with the limited funds at its disposal. Tourist Lust Inside were pitiable evidences of tourists’ lust. What had once.; been a beautiful mahogany cabinet stood in a corner, propped up by stray lumber because some tourist had stolen its solid base and even the glass which once had covered its doors. An oak cabinet which had contained law books owned by "Lindy’s father,” one time congressman of, the district,was empty. They were valued at several hundred dollars. Throughout the bouse the destruction was the same. In the basement was what was left of the oid | Saxon open touring car which Lind-I bergli had once driven from this house to Little Falls before he knew much about aerial navigation.

Some of the wheels, and bits of the chassis, too heavy to carry away remained. Little was left of a private water system which had been installed many years before by “Lindy’s" father. On the second floor, where Lindy j had had his boyhood workshop.

were mutilated doors, sagging because more souvenir-hunters had stripped even the hinges. . High up in the gable of the roof was writtaji in huge letters the name of some young man from an eastern state. Another bit of lettering proclaimed to the world that

“so-and-so”had just been married Beside it, another honeymoon couple, not to be outdone by the first, broadcast their bliss in even larger letters. There is not a single inch of wainscoating on the house which has not been written upon.
