Sundays at 3:00

An Angry Mob and a Hollow Tree: A Look at Clarksville’s Unexpected Railroad History

With Todd DeFeo, noted speaker and author on railroad history

July 6 | 3 pm | Turner Auditorium | Free to the public; does not include museum admission

Clarksville has a deep railroad history but despite the history, the city has had a love-hate relationship with the railroad. Author and train historian Todd DeFoe will discuss Clarksville’s railroad history including the first railroad, which was derided as “beginning in the woods and ending in a hollow tree.” DeFoe’s presentations include rare and well-researched anecdotes to bring the stories of those impacted by railroads to life.
