The Carson Center Overview

Right by downtown Paducah and overlooking the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers, you will find the multi-purpose Carson Center with its 97,750 square feet of usable space. Explore picture-perfect backdrops with the sweeping staircases in the Paxton Family Foundation Lobby as well as with an impressive hand-painted mural on quilt on the back wall. Consider hosting your festivities in The River Room that overlooks the rivers or outdoors on the patio in the adjacent Riverview Terrace. With gleaming hardwood floors, plush carpeting and large windows that let in an abundance of natural light, The Carson Center warmly welcomes you and your guests for a chic and contemporary celebration.
