While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
About 1824, James Clark laid out the village of
Clarksville. There was an effort made to establish a village, and at one
time it was thought that Clarksville would become a flourishing town. It
was located on the north side of Mackinaw Creek, in the northeastern part
of the township. The town was finally abandoned. A few dwelling houses and
a church are all that is left to mark the spot.
