Things to do in Paducah
Paducah sits where the Tennessee River meets the Ohio, and the river has shaped its economy for two centuries: towboat operators, barge lines and marine services are major employers, along with healthcare, rail and manufacturing. The city has also built a reputation as an arts destination. It is home to the National Quilt Museum, and its LowerTown Arts District grew out of a program that invited artists to restore historic homes.
