Portraits of Our Past

History in Dafford Murals

Welcome to the Paducah Floodwall Murals


The renowned Dafford Muralists capture Paducah's rich history in paintings on this UNESCO Creative City's floodwall overlooking the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers. This visionary project began in the spring of 1996. The first twenty-panel timeline was completed in 2001 and the last painting in the three block section in 2022. The city's most visited 24/7 art and history attraction intrigues thousands of fascinated onlookers each season.
