WHAT PADUCAH RESIDENTS ARE SAYING

“It’s a great town and just the right size. As I always say, Paducah has a lot of big city advantages without the big city disadvantages. When people come to the museum, they’re often surprised. We’re a contemporary museum, reflecting not just what’s going on in the quilting world present day, but what’s going on in the world at large.”

Matt Collinsworth

CEO, National Quilt Museum
