Clarksville has a historic downtown that is full of life and you can find a variety of shops and restaurants…but what about the buildings? The buildings businesses are located in also have a rich past that, many people will agree, should be well-honored and remembered.

That’s exactly what this new project is doing, they are calling it, “Clarksville Then and Now.”

As part of the project, they are collecting old photographs of the downtown buildings as they were, once upon a time, with their earlier, or original occupants.

Those pictures are going to be displayed on plaques that will be permanently attached to their corresponding buildings as a way of remembering the very rich, Clarksville past, while also celebrating the present and future of Clarksville! There has been hours and hours of researching the building and the history so people will get  more information about the building.

A broader community involvement is encouraged, if anyone has information or photographs to add to the project, the help is greatly appreciated!

If you have any photos or any knowledge of any building downtown, get your info to  Kanervo at kanervoe@apsu.edu and Harper at brharper931@gmailcom.

Sounds like a cool project!
