About

Arabia Steamboat Museum

The Arabia Steamboat Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into life on the American frontier in 1856. The museum displays the preserved cargo of the Steamboat Arabia, which sank in the Missouri River and was excavated in 1988.

Visitors can explore thousands of artifacts, from fine china to carpentry tools, remarkably preserved in the river mud for over a century.
