Kansas: Amelia Earhart’s birthplace
The first woman to successfully fly across the Atlantic Ocean was Amelia Earhart, who began her life in Atchison in this house, which is now open as a museum. Born July 24, 1897, the daughter of a railroad attorney, Earhart spent most of her childhood in Kansas and Iowa. She made her epic trans-Atlantic flight in 1928, a decade before she disappeared trying to fly around the world.
