For Families
Our Community
Known as the City of Craft and Folk Art, Paducah, Kentucky is the County Seat of McCracken County. It is considered by many as one of the best places to live in the state.
Originally founded in 1827 by William Clark, the city’s location at the confluence of the Tennessee and Ohio rivers made Paducah a key location during the Civil War. Today, Paducah has a dense suburban feel with 25,000 residents and highly rated public schools.
