An escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, Clarksville has the unique ability to blend big city amenities with small town charm. And we do it all with Southern style. A chameleon of sorts, Clarksville offers something different to all who have a desire to travel outside the norm. Our artistic repertoire ranges from world class theatres and art exhibits to honky-tonks and homegrown country music. Love to shop?

Our moderate climate makes us every nature lover’s dream location. With several state parks in the area and miles of walking and biking trails, your taste for the outdoors will be satisfied. Not to mention that both the Cumberland and Red Rivers can provide endless hours of aquatic excitement. All of this doesn’t even touch on the many year round attractions that make Clarksville distinctive. From the Customs House Museum to Beachaven Winery and Vineyards, we can provide a list of “must sees” for your visit. A quick peek at our calendar and you can see we’ve got a whole lotta shakin’ going on. Clarksville has a great deal to brag about. Like our rich river heritage or our diverse community, represented by over 26 countries. But those things are better left to experience on your own terms. Words do not do justice to all that the area has to offer. Instead, pack your bags, throw the family in the car, and come by for a weekend. You won’t be disappointed. Restored with brick sidewalks and intersections, period lighting, benches and planters, the Franklin Street thoroughfare represents the centerpiece of a re-emerging downtown district. Explore the area at your leisure by taking the self-guided Walk Clarksville Tour. The area features: • Shopping at a number of antique shops and boutiques. • Locally-owned restaurants offering everything from gourmet pizzas to burgers and fries to German cuisine. • Professional productions at a 1940’s modern art theatre. • Stunning architecture dating to the early 1850’s. • A first-class, hands-on museum and cultural center that is Tennessee’s second largest general history museum and one of the region’s most photographed structures. • Austin Peay State University, including Emerald Hill, Archwood, as well as the Mabel Larson Art Gallery. • Public art displays including photography, statues and mural, highlighting Clarksville’s heritage. Clarksville is proud to be neighbors with Fort Campbell Army Base. Fort Campbell is home to the only Air Assault Division in the world, the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). Two prestigious Special Operations Command units, the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) also call Fort Campbell home. Words cannot express the sense pride and appreciation Clarksville has for our service men and women. Fort Campbell began as Camp Campbell in 1942 in preparation for US involvement in WWII. It served a valuable training ground for America’s soldiers with over a quarter of all US troops moving through Camp Campbell. In 1950 the name was officially changed to Fort Campbell, becoming a permanent Army installation. Civilian visitors can gain access to Ft. Campbell through Gate 4 off of Ft. Campbell Blvd (US-41A). Proper identification is required when entering post.
