Arabia Steamboat Museum

Unbelievable treasures and fascinating history await. Explore the museum and learn how the handsome steamer Arabia prospered on the rivers, perished in 1856 and was finally rediscovered 132 years later, precious cargo intact. This exhibit is many things: history, ingenuity, tragedy, adventure, perseverance, preservation and a tribute to the pioneer spirit. A theater presentation, guided tours and a working preservation lab are also available on the site. Open year round.
