(KAIR)--The Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum has been nominated for a national honor for the third year in a row.

According to a release from the Museum, it has again been named a finalist for USA Today’s 2026 10Best Reader’s Choice Award in the Best History Museum category. Voting began Monday and runs through February 9. The public can vote once per day here.

Twenty museums nationwide were selected by travel experts, with the final winners determined by public vote. For the past two years, those votes resulted in the Atchison-based museum earning fourth-place rankings.

Museum Executive Director Mindi Love Pendergraft says the recognition highlights the Museum’s growing national and international reach, adding that visitors have come from every U.S. state and 37 countries, drawn by the lasting intrigue of Amelia Earhart and her legacy.

The Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum features interactive exhibits and STEM-based storytelling that celebrate Earhart’s groundbreaking aviation career and her advocacy for women in flight.

The museum, whose highlight is Muriel, the world’s last remaining Lockheed Electra 10-E identical to the plane Earhart flew on her final flight around the world, is located at Atchison's Amelia Earhart Memorial Airport.
