Lower Town, Paducah

Since its annexation to Paducah in 1836, Lower Town has been reinvented by determined residents, visionary elected officials, a locally owned bank, and the Lower Town Neighborhood Association. Today a vibrant community of businesses and preservationists is joined by artists in the national award-winning Artist Relocation Program. Then & Now: Lower Town, Paducah compares historic images with modern photographs to document the spirit of the citizens and the renaissance of the neighborhood.
