The International Forest of Friendship was established by The Ninety-Nines, an international women pilots organization, and the City of Atchison as a bicentennial project. A bronze life-size Amelia Earhart statue looks out over the forest, which serves as a growing, living memorial to people who have been a part of space and aviation exploration. Plaques embedded in the International Forest of Friendship’s walkway feature the names of honorees, which represent all fifty states, as well as more than thirty-five countries. There is also the Astronaut’s Memorial, honoring 10 astronauts who had lost their lives during space exploration.
