What to do and see in Clarksville, Tennessee (TN): The Best Free Things to do

July 8, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

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.

"We're a small batch artisan distillery in a part of America that doesn't worship novelty or look favorably upon flashes in the pan. How do we know? We grew up here in Clarksville, Tennessee, and our give-a-damn runs pretty high." -Matt Cunningham, Proprietor We offer tours, tastings, and have a gift shop. Make sure to check our website for availability and book online. We are also open for both tours and tastings on Sundays.

Beachaven Vineyards & Winery

Explore the oldest single-family owned winery in the state of Tennessee by touring their estate and tasting wines created with both local and regional fruit. Licensed in 1986, Beachaven was spearheaded by late Judge William O. Beach, his daughter Louisa, and his son-in-law Ed Cooke. Beachaven quickly gained a reputation for great wines, winning Gold medals in every competition they entered. Each of the award-winning wines are available in store and online, and a large gift shop offers a wide array of items. The winery is host of many events throughout the year, but in the summer months they are known for their popular outdoor concert series, Jazz on the Lawn.

Great civil war site that is well maintained overlooking the river. They have some of the cannons placed overlooking the river. Well worth a stop, I recommend this to one and all. Kids will like the river overlook and all the cannons and cannon balls.

If the weather is permitting, this is a nice place to sit or bicycle about. The Cumberland is a historic river, with an open interpretative center in the pavilion.

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.
