To see the ultimate in recycling, visit this truly unique little museum.  The building itself is the crate (turned inside out) that was used to transport the Spirit of St. Louis home to the U.S. from Paris, on the USS Memphis, after Lindbergh's famous flight.  The "souvenir" was requested by Admiral Burrage who took it to his home in NH in 1927.  It remained there, developing a history of its own, until Larry, Rebecca and Caitlin Ross moved it to their home on a hilltop in Canaan in 1990.  Mr. Ross uses this old "box" to focus the attention of all who visit on the true "spirit" of having a vision, putting a plan together and reaching a goal.  The Lindbergh Crate Day he hosts every June is a discreetly spectacular event.

Hours:  You are invited to stop by anytime to see the building/crate or call to assure a visit inside.

Admission:  None, though you may be inspired to contribute in any way you can.
