Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum

Iconic aviator, aviation record-setter, and author Amelia Earhart is celebrated in her hometown of Atchison, Kansas with a birthplace museum, life-size statues, an annual festival, and a one-acre earthwork portrait. 

But starting on April 14, 2023, another major Earhart attraction lands in Atchison: the Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum located, appropriately enough, at  Atchison’s Amelia Earhart Memorial Airport.

The centerpiece and inspiration for the museum is Muriel, among the world’s last remaining Lockheed Electra 10-E airplanes. Named for Amelia Earhart’s younger sister, Grace Muriel, the museum’s Lockheed Electra is identical to the plane Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan were flying in 1937 when they disappeared during their ill-fated around the world flight attempt.

Earhart’s plane was a dull silver with red painted highlights and the shiny Muriel replicates the red along the front of the wings.
