Favorite Places Beyond the River
Located in historic downtown Paducah, the Museum of the American Quilter’s Society lobby is adorned with beautiful stained glass windows in a variety of quilted patterns. You'll find more than 150 quilts on display; treasures not to be your “grandmas” quilts, but delicate works of art.
