Clarksville, TN – Learning comes to life at the Customs House Museum & Cultural Center as it welcomes homeschool families for its monthly Homeschool Field Trip Day on Tuesday, August 4th, 2026, from 10:00am to 4:30pm.
Held on the first Tuesday of every month, this special event gives homeschool students in Kindergarten through 12th grade the opportunity to explore the museum through a day of self-guided discovery, hands-on learning, and educational exhibits designed to inspire curiosity across a variety of subjects.
