Clarksville, Tennessee is a thriving, vibrant city located in the northwest area of the state near the Kentucky border, approximately 45 miles from Nashville.

With its storied history, Clarksville is home to many museums and historical sites, as well as the Fort Campbell Army base, site of the 101st Airborne Division and the "Screaming Eagles" aerial demonstration team.

Clarksville played a key role during the Civil War due to its location on the Cumberland River, and served as a Confederate stronghold before its capture by Union forces, who would retain control of the city until the war's end. Three preserved Confederate camps remain in the area: Camp Boone, Camp Burnet, and Fort Defiance. Fort Defiance Park is open to the public and includes walking trails and a fort, as well as a 1,500 square foot Interpretive Center that features historical exhibits and information about Fort Defiance and the surrounding area during the Civil War.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy boating on the Cumberland River, rock climbing in the King's Bluff recreational area, and exploring Dunbar Cave. Families can picnic in Clarksville's many parks, dine in casual and gourmet restaurants in the downtown district, and view beautiful sunsets from the Cumberland RiverWalk. In nearby Adams, those seeking chills and thrills can tour the infamous Bell Witch Cave, said to be among the most haunted sites in America, and the subject of many legends and media portrayals, most notably in the 2005 film, "An American Haunting".
