Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum - Atchison, Kansas

The new Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum at the Atchison, Kansas Airport opened on April 14, 2023. The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday.

Adult admission is $15 plus tax, which seems a little high for a museum of its size. The centerpiece of the museum is Muriel, the only remaining Lockheed Electra 10-E, which was the type of airplane flown by Amelia Earhart on her final flight. The plane is handsome, but doesn't take very long to see. Visitors are not allowed to go up to the plane or see inside. The edges of the hanger have various exhibits related to Amelia or interactive STEM related to aviation.

The lobby has a gift shop which appeared to be the most popular part of the museum on opening day. Also a life size video Amelia who welcomes visitors to the museum.

Unless you additionally purchase the Virtual Reality Flight Experience ($5 plus tax), the museum can be thoroughly visited in 45 minutes.
