Paducah, KY – Since 1963, Paducah's Market House Museum has provided visitors with exhibits documenting the history of Paducah since it's founding by William Clark in the early 1800s. The site of the current museum sits at the same location as the original market house of the city, built in 1836. David Schmoll sits down with the museum's Executive Director, Penny Baucum Fields to discuss what visitors can expect from one of Paducah's oldest buildings.
