Amelia Earhart is possibly Harrison’s most famous resident. Most people know who Ameila Earhart is, but some do not know she lived in Harrison with her husband, publisher George Palmer Putnam. She was a resident of Harrison when she took her historic flight across the Atlantic in 1932. It was 5 years later, when she disappeared somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, in 1937.
Earhart often joked about how her house bordered Harrison/Rye, saying how she grew vegetables in her garden in Rye and ate them in her house in Harrison.
Please note, this is a private residence.
