On display at the Market House Museum is a genuine section of the superstructure of the USS Arizona, which was sunk by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7th, 1941. Paducah native Allard Vessels survived the tragic sinking, coming home to marry and raise a family. The Museum has in its permanent exhibits the Vessels collection of Arizona artifacts and items relating to the fated vessel, which is now a memorial to those lost aboard her on that Sunday morning long ago.
