Paducah, KY – Paducah's Whitehaven Mansion was built in 1860 by a tobacco broker named Edward Anderson. The Antebellum-period style home has since seen many changes. It's housed several families including that of a Paducah banker, a Mayor, and now it's not only a nationally registered historic home on US-45, but it's the only one in the nation to be partly converted into a state Welcome Station. Chris Taylor speaks to Travel Host Supervisor Regina Topp to find out more.
