What should we update?

Type of correction Required

What the archive currently says

Status: Open to the public
Visit Forest Park for a broad Missouri history museum. Researchers tracing Charles Lindbergh can also consult the Society’s separate archive; ask the museum whether his historical Medal of Honor exhibit is currently available.
The 2006 historical medal photograph does NOT establish that the original is on view today.
Museum exhibit rotation and archive reading-room access are separate; check exhibit schedule before travel.
M040 adds a qualified, source-backed map point for visitor orientation; it does not claim a surveyed entrance coordinate.
