With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Murray, 35 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Murray Court Square, Central Park and Wrather West Kentucky Museum. Located 40 miles away, Paducah is another place to aim for. If you swing by, be sure to check out National Quilt Museum, Kentucky Oaks Mall and Noble Park.
