This museum was a collection of Civil War memorabilia and could only be understood with a guide. The documentation was poor. However the staff had a passion for this little museum and were very willing to explain and answer questions

This restored old home is full of Civil War items, stories, and pictures. This is a gem and "must see" if you enjoy history. Even though Lloyd Tilghman was a Confederate general, the museum tells the story of both the North and South in the Civil War. The manager gave us an excellent tour -- he is most knowledgeable of his history for this region.

CSA Gen'l Lloyd Tilghman (& his family) but also about the WBtS in Paducah and western KY. Our docent was very knowledgeable and helpful as well as being incredibly friendly. Granted the place has a bit of a slant as it is run by the SCV but bear that in mind as you visit and enjoy the displays, mementos, art, dioramas, &c that cover much of this historic home.

Great place to take the kids to learn a bit of history by seeing...Loved how the folks were dressed in period attire and knew a lot about the history of the area and all.

What a treasure and a treat. The host Bill Baxter gave such a wonderful tour of the building, the items, the people, the events..... Certainly more than a museum just about the only civil war general from Paducah, KY. The research library is expanding at a rapid rate. Of course while you are there you must meet Mr. B, the house dog. We spent well over an hour and left only when others came in for the tour. Of course we will go back again as it is far to much to consume in only one visit. Paducah has many delightful museums and this is right along them as one of the best.

This museum is in a two story home that has been furnished in period and has a surprising amount of excellent historical memorabilia. In addition, the "host" is extremely knowledgeable and interesting - great visit.

Many great artifacts, but historically inaccurate comments from the tour guide. One that stuck out was the claim that the North was the first to violate Ky neutrality. No. Polk used the fact that some in Ky decided to join the federal army as an excuse to invade. Grant moved in after Leonidas. Also found some comments about slavery to be incorrect, as well as assertions about the north using cheap labor as an alternative to slavery. Slavery became a huge trade in the south after the invention of the cotton gin, which made it economically viable. Another quibble-the mention of KY and MO having stars on the confederate flag. they remained neutral throughout the war, regardless of any flag design.

We were in Paducah to celebrate their annual BBQ on the River and were lucky enough to meet Bill Baxter, Administrator of the Museum. He invited us to attend an evening of "Living History" and we so thoroughly enjoyed it. We were "eavesdropping" on conversations between some of history's most notable Civil War participants. Because the "Living History" exhibit forced the closure of the remainder of the museum we are forced (happily) to make a return trip to explore the amazing artifacts and learn more of our country's history. Bill, we can't thank you enough for the introduction and invitation..

The guide should give lessons to all other Civil War historic site guides. To begin with he stayed almost 2 hours past closing time after he found out that we were from out of town. And he gave the most informative and engaging tour I've ever been on. Do you remember the best teachers in school that made sure you not only understood the "what" but the "why" also? We walked away with a much better understanding of the importance of the Paducah and Kentucky area during the Civil War and the accomplishments of Tilghman. If you have any interest at all in the history of the Civil War or the area in general you must make time to visit. Its run on donations and I assure you, you will want to throw some extra in the donation box after the incredible tour.

The volunteer who welcomed us, a retired air force man, was just terrific! He gave us a great tour, let us hold the rare civil war artifacts, backed up his points with references. Outstanding!
