    Take a day trip to Atchison, Kansas, and visit the Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum. The centerpiece of the museum, the Muriel—the world’s last remaining Lockheed Electra 10-E aircraft—was named for Earhart’s younger sister and is identical to the plane Earhart flew on her final flight. Surrounding Muriel are 14 interactive STEM and history storytelling exhibit areas that take visitors through Earhart’s extraordinary life. While you’re in town, visit the Atchison Rail Museum. Explore an outdoor collection of rail cars and ride aboard the Atchison & Western Miniature Railroad, a 12-inch gauge railroad open weekends during the summer, Saturdays 10:00-5:00 and Sundays noon-4:00.
