  • Clarksville Historic Survey Final Report 2020
    CLARKSVILLE HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEY UPDATE CLARKSVILLE, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TENNESSEE REPORT PREPARED FOR THE CITY OF CLARKSVILLE, TENNESSEE THOMASON AND ASSOCIATES, PRESERVATION PLANNERS NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE AUGUST 2020 TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION I - INTRODUCTION & PROJECT LOCATION………………………………….2 SECTION II - METHODOLOGY……………………………………………………………....6 SECTION III - HISTORICAL OVERVIEW……………………………………………………8 SECTION IV – ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW…………………………………………...37 SECTION V - SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS…………………….…………...76 BIBLIOGRAPHY………………………………………….……………………………………82 SECTION I: INTRODUCTION & PROJECT LOCATION Introduction The Tennessee Historical Commission (THC) is the state’s historic preservation agency, and one of its important programs is the architectural and historical inventory of the state’s cultural resources. This inventory is a significant part of historic preservation and community planning since it provides basic data on the location, condition and architectural character of buildings and structures. Montgomery County was originally surveyed in 1981. Since that time numerous properties have been listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and mid-20th-century buildings have attained the fifty-year mark. In 2019, the THC awarded the City of Clarksville a federal historic preservation grant to fund a survey of downtown Clarksville. The inventory was conducted between May and September of 2020. This survey was completed by Thomason and Associates of Nashville, Tennessee (Contractor). The scope of the survey included updating the existing inventory from 1981 and identifying properties that have reached fifty years since their dates of construction. For this survey, the end date of 1969 reflects the fifty-year time period from 2019. To assist the Contractor with this survey, the Clarksville Planning Commission’s GIS Department provided property maps identifying pre-1970 parcels based on Montgomery County tax records.

  • Maury County's African American History a Driving Tour
    Maury County’s African American History A Driving Tour Maury County’s African American History A Driving Tour For more than 200 years, African Americans have shaped Maury County history. At first, thousands of enslaved Tennesseans carried out demanding tasks in the fields, in the house, or in the trades as skilled craftsmen. They made clothes, tools, wagon wheels, and many other artisan goods sold both in Maury County and across the region. A small number of free blacks carried out their own lives in an age of slavery. They established churches, cemeteries, and businesses. With emancipation and the end of slavery, African Americans rushed to create many more churches, schools, lodges, businesses, and cemeteries. These historic places and community institutions are everywhere across the county. They are living testaments to the change that occurred across Tennessee during the Civil War and Reconstruction years. These historic places are also powerful reminders of the significance of African American history in Maury County in the past and its continued importance today. This tour starts in downtown Columbia, where a large free black population existed even before the Civil War. Here just north of the town square, lasting African American institutions first formed. Unless the properties are open to the public, please respect property rights and view these places from the sidewalk or roadside.

  • A History of Tennessee.Indd
    352 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 353 SECTION VI Tennessee 354 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 355 A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE The Land and Native People Tennessee’s great diversity in land, climate, rivers, and plant and animal life is mirrored by a rich and colorful past. For all but the last 200 years of the 12,000 years or so that this country has been inhabited, the story of Tennessee is the story of its native peoples. The fact that Tennessee and many of the places in it still carry Indian names serves as a lasting reminder of the significance of its native inhabit- ants. Since much of Tennessee’s appeal for her ancient people as well as for later pioneer settlers lay with the richness and beauty of the land, it seems fitting to begin by considering some of the state’s generous natural gifts. Tennessee divides naturally into three “grand divisions”—upland, often moun- tainous, East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee with its foothills and basin, and the low plain of West Tennessee. Travelers coming to the state from the east encounter first the lofty Unaka and Smoky Mountains, flanked on their western slope by the Great Valley of East Tennessee. Moving across the Valley floor, they next face the Cumberland Plateau, which historically attracted little settlement and presented a barrier to westward migration. West of the Plateau, one descends into the Cen- tral Basin of Middle Tennessee—a rolling, fertile countryside that drew hunters and settlers alike. The Central Basin is surrounded on all sides by the Highland Rim, the western ridge of which drops into the Tennessee River Valley.

Some material on northern Alabama is also included. Mrs. Garrett collected these materials during her career as a historian, writer, and genealogist and donated the collection to the State Library Archives in numerous small accessions. The collection was reprocessed in early 1997, involving the removal of numerous published items for transfer to the State Library holdings and the addition of approximately 5 cubic feet of materials not previously processed. The materials in this finding aid measure 10 linear feet. There are no restrictions on the materials. Single photocopies of these materials may be made for purposes of scholarly research. Copying on a large scale is prohibited. In 2019, in accordance with replevin laws, a portion of the physical collection was deaccessioned and repatriated to the Maury County Archives.

  • Tennessee – a Tale of Three Climates
    Tennessee – A Tale of Three Climates By Joanne Logan, Tennessee CoCoRaHS State Coordinator, Univ. of Tennessee The flag of Tennessee describes it all: the three stars represent the three grand divisions of Tennessee. They could also indicate the three different types of climate that can be found here owing to the topography and hydrology of the state. The flattish plain of West Tennessee, an extension of the Gulf Coastal Plain, is climatically the warmest part of the state. Temperatures in this area average around 62° F, and precipitation ranges between 46" and 54" increasing as one gets closer to Memphis. The record highest temperature in the state, 113° F, was recorded in Perryville, just to the west of the Tennessee River. West Tennessee also is the most active area of the state for severe weather, and, owing to its presence north of the Gulf Coastal states, is susceptible to the remnants of tropical storms and hurricanes. Middle Tennessee has elements of West Tennessee’s general climate, but East Tennessee’s temperature and precipitation have variability. Middle Tennessee contains the Cumberland Plateau that can record some of the highest precipitation totals in the state, though they are not as high as in the Smoky Mountains. In the summer, the temperatures in the southern part of the region are on par with those of West Tennessee. Nonetheless, Middle Tennessee’s climate is often characterized, especially in the winter, as perhaps the most variable in the state. Snow often falls in the Cumberland Plateau while it would normally be raining in the rest of Middle Tennessee.
