4.0Jefferson Davis State Historic Site(73 reviews) - Interesting, but over priced Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Historic Sites • Monuments & Statues
I had wanted to come here for years, but when I got here I was underwhelmed. I paid $11 to see a small museum on the life of Jefferson Davis (all of which I already knew) & took an elevator ride to the top of the 351 ft tower where I got a view of the surrounding countryside in each direction. The staff was very friendly & wanted to talk & I appreciated that. However, if I had to do it over again I would probably not go.See more..
This is so beautiful. This carved Indian was a gift to the city of Paducah. It is huge......and the details of the carving is amazing. Very well taken care off. It's right off the highway. In front of Bob Noble Park. Come by and look at it and see what I mean about the carving.See more..
4.5Jefferson Davis Monument(38 reviews) - Excellent and historical experience. Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
Hope this site can weather the current bent toward historical revisionism. Kentucky IS the only state that can claim 2 sitting presidents simultaneously.See more..
Eclectic is a much misused word but it was invented for stores such as Shaq & Coco with its tasteful mix of clothing, furnishings, costume jewellery and so much more besides. Staff who are welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. A beautiful store in a beautiful little Kentucky townSee more..

4.5Fort Jefferson Memorial Cross(15 reviews) - Historical viewpoint of the active Ohio River Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues
Coming from St Louis, we stopped here as the 1937 1 mile long Cairo Ohio River Bridge has reopened, if only one lane. This 90' high cross built in 2000 for $316,000 is visible from IL, MO, and KY sitting high over the 12 barge tows passing by in the long bend below Cairo. Signage on the site details the 1780 Fort Jefferson that once stood here. Great stop for a picnic lunch. Now we must queue up to recross the bridge as our destination is MO.See more..

4.5Wooldridge Monuments(9 reviews) - World class folk art site in rural Kentucky Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues
Do read about about this before your visit to understand what is going on here. To say this spectacular installation is a world class grouping doesn’t begin to describe it.

5.09/11 Memorial(1 review) - Emotional to see and remember. Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
So glad we ventured off the path to see this. The beam came from the 91st floor of the north tower of the World Trade Center. Never want to forget.See more..
This monument is right off the highway. There is a very small parking area riddled with trash and used diapers. There are two signs, one on either side of the monument, that are almost completely unreadable. The monument is the standard obelisk style that is utilized at many battlefields. If you are driving and want to stop for a quick picture or to look at the monument close up, go for it. Otherwise, don't waste your time.See more..
5.0Lincoln Statue(1 review) - Seated Lincoln Statue Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Monuments & Statues
At first I thought this was a replica of the statue in Washington DC, but this statue was commissioned in 1904 and unveiled in 1909 and the Washington statue wasn't erected until 1922. I really like all the symbolism found on this statue. It's very patriotic.See more..
