Charles A. Lindbergh State Park
Museum in Morrison County, Minnesota. Charles A. Lindbergh State Park is a 569-acre 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.[1]

Church of Our Savior
Building in Little Falls, Minnesota. Episcopal Church of Our Savior is a historic church at 113 4th Street NE in Little Falls, Minnesota, United States. The congregation was established around 1858, as a missionary effort by Bishop Henry Whipple, and they built their first building around that time. The second church was built in 1869. The current building, built in 1903, was designed by John B. Sutcliffe from Chicago and built by Louis Triplett, a local builder. Its design blends Gothic and Tudor styles. The lower walls and foundation are built of fieldstone, while the upper sections of the walls are half-timbered with stucco. The corner tower is also made of fieldstone, topped by a bell tower with a flared shingled roof.
The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The nomination states, "The Church of Our Savior is an excellent and well-preserved example of the second generation of Episcopal churches constructed in Minnesota. Its style is more an echo of England and a reflection of early twentieth century eclecticism than a variation on the Upjohn churches characteristic of Episcopal churches constructed in Minnesota during the late nineteenth century—the so-called "Whipple Churches'."[3]
