But Paducah—consummate river city that it is—has taken bland concrete and made it a real attraction for visitors and natives alike. In this segment, we visit with artist Robert Dafford as he creates a historical mural on the floodwall.

All Dolled Up

first lady dolls

Our final segment visits the State Capitol in Frankfort, where the Kentucky Federation of Women’s Clubs maintains a doll display representing Kentucky’s first ladies. Each doll is outfitted as that first lady would have dressed, with many wearing replicas of first ladies’ inaugural ball gowns. The collection also contains a miniature of Kentucky’s only female governor (so far!), Martha Layne Collins.
