Civil War: Hoofbeats in the Heartland
Through September 15th
This exhibit will be displayed in the gallery of Heritage Hall through September 15th. While at the Customs House, this exhibit will focus on guerrilla operations in and around Clarksville and include relics dug from Fort Defiance, civil War cavalry equipment, personal belongings, letters, and diary
entries.
In November of 1861, Confederate forces began to build a defensive fort that would control the river area near Clarksville. It sits atop a 200 foot high bluff overlooking the Cumberland River. It was burned and abandoned by Confederate troops during the capture of Clarksville and then briefly reoccupied in the summer of 1862. Fort Defiance is located at 120 A Street in Clarksville.
