There’s no place like home
Home to two female adventurists; red-shoed Dorothy and trailblazer Amelia Earhart, aka the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, Kansas is an inspiring destination. The new Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum honours the aviator’s life with 14 interactive and immersive exhibits, including Muriel, a replica plane that Earhart flew on her final flight, named after her younger sister Grace Muriel Earhart Morrissey. Unlike Dorothy, Amelia never made it home but her legacy lives on here. ameliaearharthangarmuseum.org
