Paducah City of Crafts & Folk Arts

About

Founded in 1827 by William Clark of Lewis & Clark fame, Paducah's origins and prosperity can be attributed to its strategic location at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers. The combination of southern charm and hospitality that originated with Paducah's founding is still alive and well in this vibrant river city today.

Paducah's private and public sectors are committed to providing quality educational, cultural and entertainment activities usually found in larger metropolitan areas. West Kentucky boasts two large recreational lakes, numerous golf courses and wonderful shopping opportunities.

Blending a rich history with a stable economy, healthy business climate, and outstanding schools and neighborhoods, Paducah is an excellent place to raise a family or start a business.
