    This was an awesome visit! It was great walking in the same house that Amelia Earnhardt was born…read moreand spent most of the first 12 years of here life. Truly insightful into her early years. Everything is beautifully restored. Certainly worth the stop!

    So it's fairly small, it's well-preserved, and it's not all that interactive. But so what? We don't…read morehave to touch *everything* or be entertained by multimedia. It's a living tribute to a great Kansan. For starters, just get a gander at the big Missouri River just across the street. Imagine growing up with that view and access! Drop your $15, or whatever level you're at, and enjoy browsing the history. The preservation of original artifacts coupled with Earhart memorabilia makes for an extremely interesting walk back in time. The preservation of the dining room is sensational, with outstanding stained glass facing just northeast. As you meander through the various rooms, you are struck by how curious Amelia Earhart appears to have been at such a young age! Whether it was her literary exposure, fascinations with flight, or mild departure from other feminine constructs, Amelia was special from the jump. The museum is easy to navigate and generally accessible. Parking is easy, the gift shop is nice, and the staff is friendly and loves to help answer any questions. Amelia was a national celebrity, a pioneer in aviation, and maybe most importantly, a significant figure in gender equality. Learn her story, bask in her roots, and celebrate a great Kansan and woman whose disappearance leaves us all wondering the what ifs.

    Who knew so much history was hiding in Atchison, KS.

We drove my in laws the 1.25 hours to the museum and learned so much about Amelia Earhart. There was so much information I didn't know. My in laws were so impressed with the setup and how the museum is laid out. If you have kids, I definitely recommend! While there isn't a whole lot right around the museum, it's worth the visit to learn more about KS native. If you're coming from OP, we drove home through Weston to grab lunch and it turned out to be the perfect day trip.

We drove about hour and a half from downtown KC to get here. The museum is a beautiful modern building with lots of parking spots in front. Super clean and well maintained. At the entrance hall, they have the reception (to purchase tickets), the gift shop and a small open theater where a video of Amelia plays on loop. The inside hall of the museum is so stunning. First of all there's an exact model of the aircraft Amelia flew to cross the Atlantic. There are also sections dedicated to Amelia's life and her achievements. There are also display of diesel engine and modern turbo engine, a tiny cockpit to simulate flying, and a small auditorium that played movie about aviation. A smaller upper level corner also had display of Amelia's tools, her diary and a section about her disappearance. We had an amazing experience, spending over an hour at the museum. The staff members were knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting stories and facts about Amelia during the visit. The gift shop had lots limited editions items such as compass and coins. I bought a few of them as souvenirs. The restrooms at the facility are also very clean.
