Created by artist Frank Gosiak, two large colored murals, depicting the logging era and main street Little Falls in the early 1900’s, grace the façade of the Hennepin Paper Co. warehouse on Broadway Avenue West across from Cass Gilbert Depot. A third Gosiak mural “Door Into the Past” depicts the history of Little Falls evolving into present day Little Falls. The mural is located at the intersection of Broadway Avenue East and Second Street NE.
Little Falls is the home of two public fresco paintings, both created by artist Charles Kapsner, installed at Lindbergh Elementary School. The fi rst, completed in 1994, is called “The Stewardship” and
portrays the life, work and values of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., the American aviator, who lived here as a boy. The second is a 19’ x 41’ monument entitled “Beginnings”, which tells the story of Central Minnesota’s history. This piece was completed in May 2001. The frescoes can be viewed by appointment.

Cover story
Without a doubt, the
most famous native of
Little Falls is Charles A.
Lindbergh, an internationally
renowned aviator and
environmentalist. As the
Mississippi built its strength
from the streams of central
Minnesota, so too were
Lindbergh’s own beginnings
shaped by his experiences in
Little Falls.
In 1931, the Lindbergh family gave the entire 110 acres and summer house to the State of Minnesota in recognition of the elder Charles A. Lindbergh’s life and accomplishments. In 1969, the house and 17 adjacent acres were placed under the management of the Minnesota Historical Society to preserve and interpret the Lindbergh story. Today, visitors can see the 1906 house with original artifacts throughout and see Charles A. Lindbergh’s evolution from an ordinary boy to environmentalist.
Charles Lindbergh’s 1927 fl ight from New York to Paris launched an aviation revolution and making Lindbergh one of the most famous American’s in the 20th Century. Charles A. Lindbergh’s childhood experiences shaped the lasting legacy he would create through his work in the 20th century. The Charles A. Lindbergh Historic Site is a National Historic Landmark featuring the fully furnished boy-hood home of the famous aviator, visitor center exhibits, including a “Spirit of St. Louis” fl ight simulator, and an interpretive trail along the river.

Sacred Heart Chapel• Sacred Heart Chapel, located within St. Francis Convent, was built in 1943.
A Romanesque infl uence can be seen in its pillars, rounded arches and the
symbolism of the stained glass windows. The architecture, with its miniature
angled tower and raftered ceilings, was infl uenced by the style of mission
chapels erected by a pioneer Franciscan priest in Mexico and California.
