In this week's episode, Editor Gary Castor chats with Bob Priddy, a longtime Missouri journalist and history enthusiast.
Priddy discusses his efforts to relocate the Arabia Steamboat Museum from Kansas City to Jefferson City, highlighting the museum's unique collection of perfectly preserved 1856 artifacts. He argues that bringing the museum to the capital city, possibly in conjunction with the redevelopment of the state penitentiary, would be a transformative economic and cultural boon for the region. Priddy also outlines the financial challenges and his ongoing discussions with state and local officials to secure funding for this ambitious project, emphasizing the historical significance and tourism potential.
