CHARLES
LINDBERGH LANDING SITE
On May 18, 1923,
Lindbergh landed his "Jenny" northeast of here and damaged the propeller.
He waited in Maben for a new one, then spent several days selling excursion
rides at five dollars each to defray his expenses. |
7'06 note from T Harpole:
I have been on this page many times, and it is
really a good job done putting it together. My father was a young boy when
Lindbergh landed near Maben. The house where he stayed is still here. I have
relatives who live in it. My Mother was secretary -treasurer of Maben Area
Chamber of Commerce, when the plaque was placed at the Lindbergh landing
site. At the time Mrs. Lindbergh was living, and Mother wrote her a letter
telling her what was going on. Mrs. Lindbergh wrote her a hand written
letter expressing thanks, and wished she were physically able to attend. She
must have been a very personal lady. I enjoyed the website. Thanks,
Thank you Terry! |
