A Historic Kansas City Attraction | The Arabia Steamboat Museum (original) (raw)

All stories—even great ones—must come to an end. The Arabia Steamboat Museum will be closing its doors November 2026 after over 30 years in Kansas City.

​

For more than three decades, families have walked these halls, discovering a story buried in time—and finding their own reflected in it. This final year is a chance to revisit those memories and write one last chapter together.

​

We hope to have a new home for the Arabia collection, but nothing is guaranteed—except for this final year. Come visit us in the River Market, whether it’s your first time or your 50th.

​

Below, you’ll find a short film that captures this spirit—our history, our families, and the moments that stay with us. If the Arabia has ever been part of your story, take a moment to watch.
