Want a history of Paducah. This is an excellent place to come. Has a lot of informative displays but Penny Fields who works as a volunteer really made it worth our while. She has a deep appreciation of all things Paducah and obviously loved her work. She is worth the visit in itself.

Most of the information is regarding the city of Paducah and McCracken County but the proprietor will delight you with "tasty tidbits" of history and memorabilia. Certainly worth an hour of your time and the small price of admission.

I'm originally from Paducah and am visiting my daughter here. She suggested that we go to the Market House Museum. Ahhhh, the memories. Not just memories of Paducah, but of a different time and place. Thanks so much Paducah for making this wonderful collection available to me.

Well worth the $4.00 admission. A self guided tour of Paducah history. Includes local notable people. I personally enjoyed the fire department history.

A nice short stop and full of historical details, especially Civil War. Not expensive and nicely air- conditioned

this was by far our most interesting stop in Paducah. It was amazing to see how well preserved such an assortment of items from the past have been preserved.The antique drug store with it's assortment of various remedies was particularity interesting. This was a fun and informative stop that was totally unexpected.

This museum is on a small brick covered tree lined street. Makes you feel like you are going back in time. The staff was friendly. The exhibits we good. Great for history buffs.

This museum has so many wonderful historical topics to explore, all dealing with people or events connected to Paducah, that you could stay for three hours and maybe not see it all. They have yellow storyboards at each case that will allow you to learn as much or as little as you might like. The staff are on hand to assist if you have any questions, and strive to make everyone feel welcome. The museum conducts free tours for local schoolchildren during the morning hours by appointment, and have for 45 years! They have a small giftshop with reproduction antique items, history-inspired coloring books, paper dolls, etc for the grandkids and lots of games and puzzles, history books about paducah and the like. All the gift shop sales go to support the school tours. Very seldom does the staff of a museum seem to care as much as this one, whether you enjoyed your visit with them. The 1877 two story drugstore woodwork interior is a real treat to see and the stained glass beautiful. Would recommend this museum to anyone coming to Paducah....and encourage the local citizenry to come by and see the exhibits. They are open 12-4 Tuesday thru Saturday, and mornings for groups by appointment. You can go to their outstanding website for more information, if you are planning a visit. It was posted on the back of the info sheet they gave us, and was as much fun as the Museum was! They have newsletters and games about history on the website. www.markethousemuseum.com

There is a lot of stuff packed into a small museum about the history of residents fo Paducah. There are a few really historical items from famous people but mostly items from Paducahans you have never heard of. It doesn't cost much and is not a bad way to spend an hour or so.
