The Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum has made significant headway toward the nonprofit group's fundraising goal of $15 million, having secured more than $10 million from FedEx, Garmin, and Lockheed Martin, among others. The nonprofit group said yesterday. The museum, set to open in 2023, will be housed in a recently constructed 17,000-sq-ft hangar and terminal at the Amelia Earhart Memorial Airport (K59) in Atchison, Kansas—the birthplace of the world-renowned aviatrix.
