The Inland Waterways Museum is located within the oldest surviving antebellum building in Paducah's historic downtown. This two-story, double-pile, brick structure was built in 1843 to house the newly formed branch Bank of Louisville. Today, the beautifully restored second floor, the Founders Room, overlooks the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers.
Our building now serves as a center for children and adults, visitors and tourists to explore the wonders that are our nation's great rivers.
