Explore Paducah, KY

Paducah, KY rebuilt itself behind a tall concrete floodwall after the 1937 Ohio River flood, and decades later artists turned that wall into a run of painted murals. The city sits at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers in far western Kentucky, a regional hub for the surrounding McCracken County area. Ambulatory surgery centers and rehab centers gather near the downtown and the medical blocks just inland. I-24 connects toward St. Louis and Nashville, while US-60 and US-45 carry local traffic and cross the Ohio to Metropolis, Illinois. Barkley Regional Airport sits west of town for flights out between assignments. Downtown, the floodwall murals trace the riverfront for an unhurried evening hour by the water.
