BBQ on the River and the McCracken County Fair
Since the early 2000s, the Artist Relocation Program has reshaped Paducah's cultural landscape. The program subsidized artists from all over the world to move into the city, injecting a new life into the downtown. Two miles northeast of Tilghman, Paducah's riverfront is now decorated with wall-to-wall murals chronicling the city's history from its humble beginnings as a trade hub and railroad town all the way up to the present day. The riverfront attracts thousands of residents throughout the year for events like its Fourth of July fireworks show and BBQ on the River, held every September. The annual barbecue festival includes live music and dozens of vendors. The neighborhood is less than 2 miles west of Paducah Symphony Orchestra Academy, where musicians hone their crafts in classes and perform in the music hall for up to 570 people. The neighborhood is two blocks south of Carson Park, the site of the annual McCracken County Fair. The week-long event attracts visitors for its car show, live music, Ferris wheel and fried food vendors.

Homes selling for less than Paducah's median price
Tilghman's homes were developed between the turn of the 20th century and the 1950s. The neighborhood's old-growth trees drop blankets of leaves in the fall. There are no sidewalks, but the streets are quiet enough for people to take evening strolls while children ride bikes. Telephone lines loom over the neighborhood's streets. Tilghman's median single-family home price is lower than Paducah's overall median price for single-family homes. The neighborhood's housing stock is mainly composed of wood-exterior bungalows, and homes tend to list between $60,000 and $390,000. The neighborhood's brick American Craftsman-style houses sell on the higher end of that range. The yards have enough space for a patio to barbecue on when the weather is warm.

Red's Donut Shop and G&O Pharmacy
Folks walk to Jackson Street's restaurants on the neighborhood's southern border. El Sazon is a simple red brick building that serves authentic Mexican cuisine with cold bottles of Jarritos. When folks walk into Just Hamburgers, they take a seat at the stainless-steel counter, order their burger off a board on the wall and watch the fry cook prepare their meal. Just down the street, family-owned Red's Donut Shop has been in business since 1955 and was named the second-best doughnut shop in the South in 2024 by Southern Living magazine. Jackson Street also has big chains like KFC and McDonald's. On the north end of the neighborhood, G&O Pharmacy has been a staple for Tilghman residents for over 70 years. Patrons sit at its retro breakfast counter and converse with the cooks as they grill their bacon and eggs. The Midtown Market grocery store is half a mile west of the neighborhood.

The 250-square-mile Kentucky Lake is about 67 miles southeast of Paducah. "Kentucky Lake happens to be one of the largest man-made lakes in the country, and it attracts a lot of Paducah residents for fishing and boating," Powley says. Keiler Park is half a mile east of the neighborhood. The 3-acre green space has a playground and a grassy open space for folks to picnic and play sports.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
