Original 1927 Lindbergh Day Admission Ticket – U.S. Capitol Ceremony, Washington D.C.

Original ticket issued for “Lindbergh Day” on Saturday, June 11, 1927, granting the bearer access to the Senate steps on the East Front of the U.S. Capitol. This historic item was issued just weeks after Charles A. Lindbergh’s solo transatlantic flight from New York to Paris, an event that captured global attention and instantly elevated Lindbergh to international fame.

The card reads:

“Lindbergh Day – Saturday, June 11, 1927 – Admit Bearer to Senate Steps: East Front of Capitol”
“Present this ticket at foot of steps”
Signed by David S. Barry, Sergeant at Arms of Senate

Printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office, this ticket served as official government-issued access to one of the earliest and most important public celebrations of Lindbergh’s achievement.

Condition: Clean, sharp-edged ticket in excellent condition with bold typeface and a clean serif font typical of early 20th-century official government print. Minor age toning, no tears or creases. This is a scarce survivor from an event attended by thousands but preserved by relatively few.

Historical Significance:
Lindbergh’s 1927 transatlantic flight was more than an aviation milestone—it was a symbol of American innovation, courage, and modernity. This ticket links directly to the Congressional recognition of that moment, offering a tangible piece of the public and political response to a transformative moment in aviation history.
