What to do and see in Clarksville, Tennessee (TN): The Best Free Things to do
Clarksville, Tennessee, in Montgomery County, is a bustling city built by the tobacco trade. The Customs House Museum & Cultural Center, in the city's historic district, was originally constructed as a US Post Office during the tobacco boom. Now it has been converted into art gallery, history center, and hands-on children's museum. Just outside of town is the Dunbar Cave State Park, where visitors can hike through caverns that were once mined for gun powder and used for big band concerts.

What a fun place to visit! Great coffee and good assortment of vendors/booths to shop from. Quite a few boutique-y type clothing and accessory booths, but there were the normal antique booths, too. Worth the drive from Nashville to visit.
