The Historic Downtown of Clarksville, Tennessee, has long been the center of activity for this amazing city.

Centuries after its founding, the Downtown is a natural magnet for tourism and commerce. People find a connection there. Think about it . . . when you have folks come to visit from another area, do you take them to a strip mall, a chain restaurant and the movies?
