The Amelia Project

The Amelia Project

The Amelia Project was created after Amelia Rose Earhart’s symbolic completion of her flight around the world on July 11th, 2014. The exhibit displays various artifacts from her trip, most notably the headset used during the flights and a signed globe by Governor Hickenlooper. The journey roughly followed the same path taken by her namesake, Amelia Earhart, who tragically disappeared on July 24th, 1937.

From the Wright Brothers’ first powered flight to the Apollo Moon missions, each breakthrough built upon the last, transforming fragile flying machines into supersonic air and spacecraft capable of anything. Along the way, innovators, engineers, and pilots reshaped transportation, science, and society. Their achievements continue to influence the way we fly and explore today. That is why history must be kept alive.
