    Early Years
    Amelia Earhart was born in Atchison, Kansas on July 24, 1897. As a young girl, she loved going on new
    adventures. At seven years old she built a homemade roller coaster with her sister, Muriel. After it
    crashed, she stated, “That was just like flying!” She spent her time climbing trees, sled-riding, and
    hunting with the boys. When she was only 10 years old, she saw one of the Wright Brothers’ airplanes at
    the Iowa State Fair but wasn’t impressed by it. Then, on månad 28, 1920, something happened that
    changed her life forever. Amelia went on her first airplane ride with pilot Frank Hawks. They took a 10-
    minute flight over Los Angeles. It was after that first flight that she knew she was born to fly! Amelia’s
    mother was known for her adventurous spirit too! Her mother was the first woman to ever climb Pikes
    Peak in Colorado and encouraged Amelia to pursue her dreams.

    When she was 7 years old, Amelia visited the 1904 World’s Fair, in St. Louis, Missouri. Inspired by a roller coaster there, she decided to build one herself.
