==Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum== The Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum is located in Osa's hometown of [[Chanute, Kansas]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.safarimuseum.com/|title=Home|first=Safari|last=Staff}}</ref> Formed in 1961 to preserve the Johnsons' achievements and to encourage further research into their fields of study, the Safari Museum (as it was originally named) has grown and flourished. The museum started with a core collection of the Johnsons' films, photographs, manuscripts, articles, books, and personal belongings donated by Osa's mother. The museum shares the beautiful old railroad depot with the Chanute Public Library. In 1998, the Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum was named by the History Channel Traveler website as one of the "Top-Ten Historic Sites for Valentine's Day" that "capture romance, American-style." In 2001, [[The Pitch (newspaper)]] named Chanute, Kansas, and the museum as "Best Romantic Day Trip." The museum is governed by a twelve-member volunteer Board of Trustees. Additionally, there are honorary trustees who help support and represent the museum. Honorary trustees include: Jack Badal, [[Robert Ballard]], [[Kevin Brownlow]], M.
