Clarksville Montgomery County African-American Legacies
Clarksville/Montgomery County African American Legacy Trail-A Downtown Walking Tour & Country Drive for Clarksville, Tennessee.
Welcome! Home of the Clarksville/Montgomery County African American Legacy Trail. This trail is a downtown walking tour and county drive highlighting the contributions of prominent African Americans within the Clarksville/Montgomery County community throughout history, as well as significant places of organization, meeting, and worship.
Learn about and be inspired by the rich history of African American leadership, creativity, and strong community roots in Clarksville and Montgomery County.

You can pick up a brochure around Clarksville—the Visitor’s Center, Burt Cobb Community Center, Customs House Museum and Cultural Center, Wilbur N Daniel African American Cultural Center on the APSU campus, just to name a few.
