Amelia was born in this beautiful home on July 24, 1897. The museum has been restored to its turn-of-the-century condition when Earhart lived here with her grandparents. Owned and operated by The Ninety-Nines Inc., an international organization of women pilots that Amelia helped found in 1929 and served as its first president.

This remarkable one-acre portrait was created by famed Kansas artist Stan Herd in 1997. Located on a hillside overlooking Warnock Lake, the earthwork is composed of permanent plantings, stone, and other natural materials. A viewing deck on a nearby hilltop provides the best ground views of this unique tribute to Atchison's most famous daughter.

A living memorial to those involved in aviation and space exploration. A life-size bronze statue of Amelia gazes over the forest. Features trees from all 50 states and over 36 countries where 1,500 honorees reside. Includes the "Moon Tree" grown from a seed taken to the moon aboard Apollo 14, and the Astronaut's Memorial honoring ten astronauts who lost their lives.
