Customs House Museum Information

Located in the heart of historic downtown Clarksville, Tennessee, the Customs House Museum and Cultural Center is the State's second largest general museum. The original portion of the building was constructed in 1898 as a U.S. Post Office and Customs House for the flourishing tobacco trade. Incorporating a number of architectural styles, the original structure is one of the most photographed buildings in the region. With over 35,000 square feet of the region's best hands-on activities and special events...people of all ages agree - the Customs House Museum is well worth the stop! The Explorer's Gallery is packed with fun, learning and fantasy in Aunt Alice's Attic, McGregor's Market and kitchen, and of course - the Bubble Cave! Finally, get "all aboard" to see our fantastic model trains. Our volunteer engineers "ride the rails" every Sunday afternoon from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Regular museum hours are 10:00am to 5:00pm Tuesday through Saturday, and 1:00pm to 5:00pm on Sundays. Adult admission is $7.00, Senior Citizens and College ID $5.00, Ages 6 to 18 $3.00, and under six years and Museum members are free.
