Reviews
"This is a great museum in such a beautiful home. The docent was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stop here!"
"Such a cool piece of history to learn about. Construction of Amelia Earhart's birthplace and childhood home, located at 223 N. Terrace, initially began in 1861. The wood-frame, Gothic Revival cottage is perched high on the west bank of the scenic Missouri River. Amelia was born in the home on July 24, 1897, to Edwin Stanton Earhart and Amy Otis Earhart. Despite living in many different cities, Amelia considered Atchison her hometown, having spent more of her life in the Otis home than anywhere else. The Amelia Earhart Birthplace represents the most tangible remaining link with the famous female aviator. Dr. Eugene J. Bribach of Atchison, contributed $100,000 to The Ninety-Nines, an International Organization of Women Pilots (to which Amelia not only belonged but also served as their inaugural president) to assist with the purchase and maintenance of the home. WHAT IS OUR MISSION? To preserve the history of Amelia Earhart To honor and recognize the contributions women have made in aeronautics To educate and relate these histories and courageous exploits through local and online exhibits, activities, and events DEDICATION We, the Ninety-Nines, Inc., and the citizens of Atchison, Kansas dedicate the Amelia Earhart Birthplace to this generation and future generations as a museum. We will continue to restore and preserve the home to the period when Amelia lived here, and to portray her life and those of other women aviators."
"A true gem. This home, now owned & operated by The Ninety-Nines, is where Amelia Earhart was born. The home itself is in excellent condition and is beautiful. The collection of artifacts truly connects you with Amelia. Must stop here!!!"
"Beautiful, restored home with lots information and memorabilia about Amelia and her legacy. The house is kept super cool, so if you get cold easily bring a coat or sweater. My 6 year old enjoyed the scavenger hunt/bingo that they provided an because she was able to find everything she got three prices at the end. The staff were very friendly and informative. Not very busy first thing in the morning on a Saturday. Tickets were very reasonable. Spent about an hour exploring the home."
