The Arabia Steamboat Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, offers a unique glimpse into 19th-century American history through the preserved artifacts of the steamboat Arabia. Sunk in the Missouri River in 1856, the Arabia was rediscovered in a cornfield in 1988, its cargo remarkably well-preserved. The museum showcases over 200 tons of artifacts, including clothing, tools, and housewares, providing an unparalleled snapshot of daily life during that era.
