When you are in Paducah, you are very near Kentucky Lake and Barclay lake and you can see the dams and the locks that the boats go thru.. Very interesting. Also there are lodges at both lakes with really good dining.

Oh! And what about "Polly's" outside Paducah?? They have gift shops, restaurants, and the home of the "Mile High Pies"

Don't know about Polly's, but Patty's is awesome.

Wow, I have been wanting to do a trip like this for a long, long time. Might have to make plans to do it next year. No way I can fit it in this year, but I am planning out next year to fit in several trips - most Nascar and quilt related - so this will fit in perfectly!

My DD got married at "Patti's 1880's Settlement" a year ago today! Happy Anniversary Dusty and Adam! They got married in the gazebo and had their reception on the double decks nearby catered by Patti's - WOW!

About 2 miles from the Museum is a restaurant called "Flamingo Row~Cafe and Bungalow Bar". Fantastic! We always stop for happy hour or lunch, dinner, yummy, and decorations galore! Entertaining just sipping on a sweet tea and looking around. Something very out of the ordinary. Then about 20 minutes the other way on the river is a tiny OLD store still in business in "Rabbit Hatch". It was originated for the riverboats to stop and supply up.

If you go to Hancock's the day after the quilt show the sale room is bargain heaven.

Then we found to churches that had buffet dinner and gospel music. Sign me up, Loved every second of it.

Paducah is where I first met the girl who makes the extension tables. Cluttergutter.com. they had a booth in the pink building in old town. The vendors were everywhere, lots of fun.
