We paid a visit to the visitor center- Whitehaven Mansion, in Paducah. We were graciously showed the home by Gina. This place is a must see when you arrive in Paducah. It's a wonderful mansion to see and has all your one stop brochures and tourism guides for visiting. Restored 1860s Southern mansion features period furnishings and memorabilia of Paducah native Alben Barkley, who served as Vice President under Harry Truman. Whitehaven is one of the finest Classical Revival residential structures in Kentucky and is the only historic home serving as an interstate Welcome Center.
After the stop to the visitor center we made a stop over at the Purple Toad Winery. Did some sampling and bought some wine. I am not a wine drinker- Gerry is- but I did some taste testing and LOVED their wines. The slushies were great too and I wouldn't even know I was drinking wine unless I was told! The winery is Kentucky's largest and most awarded.. and we can see why!
