On This Date in Minnesota History: March 1

March 1, 1932 – The baby of aviation hero (and Minnesota native) Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne was kidnapped on this date from the Lindbergh’s “20-room stone mansion in the secluded Sourland Mountains outside Princeton, N.J.”

The baby’s nurse discovered around 10 p.m. that 20-month-old Charles Lindbergh, Jr., was not in his second-floor room. “A note demanding $50,000—a huge sum at the time—was found in his place.”
