Historic Buildings in Kansas City - The building itself is not historic yet it holds some of the most historically significant artifacts from its' time. The Arabia Museum in Kansas City is all about a steamboat that sank in the Missouri River in 1856. The Arabia was carrying everything needed to build the town of Logan Nebraska but without supplies, Logan was not built and the settlers instead moved to Sioux City Iowa. In the 1850's, it took about 6 days to travel from St. Louis Mo to St. Joseph MO by steamship. The ship burned ~ 32 cords of wood (3 comments)
