Memory has returned. The display is called Northlandz, and it is in Flemington, NJ. Check it out - start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFA02VhBeYs

We sponsored a tour bus here years ago. Northlandz's tracks stretch for about a mile (inside), and there are also displays of other memorabilia from the first half of the 20th century. You can also rest in a small theater and enjoy a performance on a huge theater-style organ from the early days of movies.

After spending the morning at Northlandz, we went to a great restaurant in a turn-of-the-century hotel that was across the street from the courthouse where the Lindbergh trial was held. After lunch we had a tour and lecture in the courthouse.

I also have been told that the NJ State Troopers now have a small museum and research area that focuses on the Lindbergh case.
