Area landmarks and points of interest including the Customs House Museum, Franklin Street, Strawberry Alley, Montgomery County Courthouse, Smith-Trahern Mansion, Historic Collinsville, L&N Train Station and Emerald Hill are showcased through photographs, paintings and drawings.
In addition, each month lists some of the rich opportunities Clarksvillians have to enjoy in the form of musical and theatrical productions, art exhibits, and historical talks and tours.
Printing services for the calendar were provided by Jostens Printing & Publishing.
