Go inside the historic Columbia Theatre in downtown Paducah and the shuttered Union Station depot in Henderson. Explore the ghostly remains of the Old Crow bourbon distillery along Glenn’s Creek, the Parker Tobacco Company in Maysville, and a once-grand farmhouse in McLean County. Each page reveals the exquisite beauty that can be found in decay and rot.
