Paducah, KY 42001
The Lewis and Clark historical marker in Paducah, Kentucky, commemorates the significant stay of the Corps of Discovery in McCracken County during their journey down the Ohio River in November 1803. This marker highlights the recruitment of men, including Indian interpreter George Drouillard, and the establishment of Paducah by William Clark in 1827.
Erected in 2006 by the Kentucky Historical Society and the Kentucky Department of Highways, the marker is located near the National Quilt Museum and is part of a series that recognizes exploration, Native American history, and early settlements in the region. Visitors can find additional historical markers within walking distance, enriching their understanding of the area's heritage.
