Little Falls MN - LeBourget France - Sister City Monuments on Waymarking.com

Famed aviator Charles Lindbergh spent his early years in Little Falls Minnesota. His childhood home is now part of the Minnesota Historical Society and just across the street from Lindbergh State Park.

In 1927 Charles Lindbergh became the first person to fly solo (non-stop) across the Atlantic Ocean. He landed in LeBourget and the two cities were introduced to each other, sharing the connection. Sixty years later, in 1987, the two cities formed a sister city relationship, based on the Lindbergh connection, and still going strong today. The two cities participate in a bi-yearly exchange visit.

Little Falls has a city park, along the Mississippi, named LeBourget Park. There is a sister city monument/plaque located at the park's kiosk.
