Lindbergh Trail Scout

Hike through history as a Lindbergh Trail Scout! These volunteers walk the 1-2 miles of trail on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule.

Don’t want to scout alone? Bring fido! Leashed dogs are allowed on trails and grounds, but are not allowed in any of the public buildings.

Service Summary:

Trails wind 1-2 miles around the historic house and through the state park. After each scouting mission, volunteers report the current conditions of the trail to site staff (washouts, fallen trees, etc.). Trail maintenance is not a part of this volunteer opportunity.

Time Commitment:

Trail Scouts are needed for one scouting hike per week throughout the year. This is an outdoor opportunity.

  • Able to walk 1 - 2 miles of trails on our property and in the state park
  • Willing to learn how to navigate using a basic trail map

Description

Discover the stories we share.

The Minnesota Historical Society preserves Minnesota's past, shares our state's stories and connects people with history in meaningful ways, for today and for tomorrow. Because history matters!

We're part of Minnesota's rich history. Since 1849, we've grown to become one of the largest and most prestigious historical societies in the country. We play an important role in our state's historic preservation, education and tourism; and provide the public with award-winning programs, exhibitions and events.

We owe it to future generations to be good stewards of the past. Join us. It's the best deal in history!

Library and Collections

Each object in our collection tells a personal story. You'll find vast numbers of books, letters, photographs, historical records, works of art and many other artifacts. Like the beaded Bandolier bags of the early Ojibwe and the embroidered story cloths of the Hmong, these artifacts educate, inspire and help us remember.

Use our online resources and the Gale Family Library to research your past and understand the life we share today. Search our extensive database of birth and death certificates and the State Archives.
