Bob Hawley - Steamboat Arabia

[IMAUDIGGER]

Wondering if anybody has been to the Arabia museum? It's on my list of places I want to visit.
Bob and his sons probably have a very good knowledge now about frontier goods.
Wouldn't it be neat if one of them was able to contribute info here?

Yes I have. . . it will blow your mind.

When I was there one of the Hawley's gave a really nice presentation which was worth more than the price of admission in itself.

The Steamboat Arabia is one of my favorite local museums in the Kansas City area. My last visit was about 4 weeks ago where I took my 2 month old grandson for his first visit. Couple years back I met Bob Hawley personally, they allowed me to set up a nice little presentation of artifacts I found and display them in his museum. I can't wait for the Hawley family to uncover the Malta Steamboat, it was a boat that carried Fur Trade supplies.

That sounds neat. Fur Trade recoveries would be a great addition to the museum. I'd love to be involved in a dig like that.
