Fun Things to See

            The museum has many fun things to see.  As well as having many artifacts and lots of history, it also offers ‘touchable treasures’.  These are treasures that were found in the boat that can be handled and touched.  The museum also has an Educational Center where older children can meet and discuss what they think about the Arabia, what it was like in 1856, and other things in general.  It is lots of fun for the children attending, as well as educational.  There is a steamboat whistle (not the original - that was washed away with the upper decks) in the Educational Center.
