Things to Do in Clarksville

The Customs House Museum and Cultural Center, the second largest museum in Tennessee, encompasses 35,000 square feet for activities and exhibits in addition to a sculpture garden.

The building, constructed in 1898, was once a post office and customs house spawned from the area’s booming tobacco trade. Now, it offers Clarksville residents and guests a chance to get in touch with the area’s rich history.

Fort Defiance Civil War Park and Interpretive Center is another way to dig deep into the area’s Civil War history but from a different perspective. Rather than being a place tattered by bullets and cannon fire, this park and interpretive center focuses more on the civilian side of the civil war.

One of the gems of Clarksville is Dunbar Cave State Park, an eight-mile stretch, one of Montgomery County’s largest caves. In addition to meandering along the trails and exploring the cave, Dunbar Cave State Park also features a number of events, including concerts and dances.

Clarksville also offers a ton of classic fun like movie theaters, bowling, laser tag, escape room games, and more.
