Located at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers and only 25 miles from Land Between The Lakes, Paducah has more historic markers than any other Kentucky city. It was founded in 1827 by William Clark who partnered with Merriwether Lewis on an earlier expedition to the northwest. The Civil War Battle of Paducah resulted in a brief occupation of the city in 1864 by Confederate troops. Paducah - Wall to Wall depicts the city's colorful history in spectacular murals painted on the flood wall at First and Broadway. Historic downtown walking tour brochures are available at the visitor center at 128 Broadway, M-F 9-5, 800-Paducah. The focal point of Paducah's historic National Register downtown is the 1905 Market House at 200 Broadway, a block from the riverfront. Inside you'll find: the Market Ho se Museum, featuring the complete interior of a local 1877 drugstore, and a quilt made by Martha Custis Lee, wife of General Robert E. Lee. One trip into the rolling hills, green pastures and clean morning air of Kentucky’s horse country and you’ll understand. No other place on earth could do justice as home to the thoroughbred. And if you love horses, you belong here too.
