Day 5 – Branson to Independence, MO
After breakfast we say goodbye to Branson & head north to the Steamboat Arabia Museum. When the mighty Steamboat Arabia sank near Kansas City on September 5, 1856, she carried 200 tons of mystery cargo. Lost for 132 years, its recovery in 1988 was extraordinary! Lying 45 feet deep beneath a Kansas cornfield, the Arabia’s payload was protected from light and oxygen and, thus, was remarkably well preserved. We’ll overnight in Kansas City.
