Arabia Steamboat Museum is home to 200 tons of frontier bound cargo lost when the Steamboat Arabia sank in the Missouri River near Kansas City in 1856.

When the Steamboat Arabia sank in the Missouri River in 1856, some said she carried gold...others said fine china. What was actually discovered will amaze you! Explore the lives of the Western pioneers through the story of the sunken Arabia and its cargo, a remarkable time capsule of life on the American frontier. You will also be intrigued by one of the greatest treasure-hunting stories ever told. And don’t be surprised if you are greeted by one of the original excavators as they are often here to welcome guests. Their tale of adventure has made the museum a favorite Kansas City attraction since 1991.
