About Us

Hip at heart, authentic from the start! That’s Clarksville, Tennessee. Our rich history and gorgeous downtown architecture are bordered by a major and meandering waterway -- the Cumberland River. Our charming downtown is filled with vibrant and passionate business owners who love their community and are actively involved in making it better. 

Our people are also pretty special. Home to two Olympic athletes -- both of whom were trailblazers, champions, and indisputable legends  -- Clarksville is also home to an Army division (101st Airborne Division, Air Assault) that is filled with some of the bravest men and women on the planet. (Read about these are other impressive Clarksville Connections here.)

Beyond the people, why should Clarksville be on your must-see list? Here are a few reasons: Historic attractions and gorgeous architecture, natural beauty with a wide range of outdoor recreation, family-friendly entertainment, an active arts and music culture, a serious variety of local and ethnic food, craft spirits (breweries, distillery, winery and meadery), and special events throughout the year.

A short drive northwest of Nashville along I-24, Clarksville is a convenient and affordable trip for a fun-filled weekend getaway. In Clarksville, our blending of heritage and hipster, passion and perseverance yield an energy and vibrancy that you simply must experience for yourself.
