Liberty Park and Marina

Fort Defiance Civil War Park & Interpretive Center
Located on a bluff above the Red and Cumberland rivers, Fort Defiance Civil War Park & Interpretive Center used to be a fort built by the Confederates during the Civil War as a means to defend the river approach to Clarksville. The fort was captured by Union Forces in February of 1862, and was occupied for the remainder of the war. You will find the place to be remarkably well preserved, with the gun platforms, powder magazine and outer earthworks still intact. The interpretive center was constructed in 2008, and it is where you will find information and exhibits about pre-Civil War agriculture and industry, and hear recorded accounts about the Civil War. There are also a number of interpretive maps, a short film, and examples of Civil War weaponry and period clothing. If you’re a history buff, then this one has to be on your must-see list.
Dunbar Cave
A cave system and park in the heart of the city? Yes! You read that correctly. Most cave networks are on the outskirts of town, but you’ll find this one right in the middle of everything.
