Living History Performance: Amelia Earhart
Join us on the third Thursday of the month March through December for a lunch and learn opportunity! We’ll be exploring topics related to Cantigny Park and local history. Amelia Earhart might not seem like local history, but she once wrote to Colonel McCormick about an article in the Tribune and he kept the note!
Amelia Earhart’s courageous exploits and spirited personality made her an international celebrity in the early twentieth century. In this lively living history program, meet Amelia and learn about her experiences as the first woman to cross the Atlantic by airplane (1928) and the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic (1932). She’ll describe how she learned to fly, what inspired her adventurous spirit and why she set off in 1937 for an around-the-world flight.
