Paducah, Kentucky

Next stop is Paducah as we head south.  So much history in this area.  We spent Saturday in historic downtown Paducah visiting the waterfront, the "Wall to Wall" Murals, the National Quilt Museum and the Lloyd Tilghman House and Civil War Museum.

Waterfront and Murals:




























Quilt Museum:  Couldn't take pictures in the museum but I'm sure they wouldn't have showed the detail anyway.  This was more of an art museum than just a quilt museum - pretty amazing.


Tilghman House: Confederate Flags used in the Civil War.







Downtown buildings of a Catholic Church and the old Hotel Irvin Cobb:




We also tried another winery from the midwest, Purple Toad Winery.  Even the dry wines are way too sweet.  This winery has won numerous awards in the area for their fruit wines.  Missing the western wineries.


Monday, we spent the day driving through Land Between the Lakes.  Beautiful drive with the fall foliage.


Kentucky Lake/Tennessee River














On Tuesday we decided to skip Nashville area and headed for West Memphis, Arkansas.
