Clarksville, TN – The Customs House Museum and Cultural Center is getting an upgrade. The 1898 Customs House Building is being renovated in order to provide an improved environment for both visitors and artifacts.
While these improvements are being made the following areas will be inaccessible: Heritage Hall, Memory Lane, and the DeWald, Peg Harvill, and Explorers’ Galleries.
