Paducah - a River City

We drove to Kentucky in May of 2019 for what was a great vacation.  We spent our first two days in Paducah, a historic city on the Ohio River. and stayed at a charming boutique hotel, the 1857 Hotel, a wonderfully restored structure that at one time was a warehouse for the freight being barged on the river.

At the foot of Kentucky Avenue looking across the Ohio to Illinois
The architecture around town was very handsome, some a bit rough, some finely refurbished.
There are wonderful restaurants; we dined at Cynthia's and the Freight House.  The River Museum tells stories about the river and barge traffic which has been so important to this historic city.
