The Commission was appointed in November 2009 by the city and county mayors for the purpose of enabling Clarksville and Montgomery County, Tennessee to commemorate local Civil War heritage and preserve the story of this community’s important role in history. The Commission was designated as the official oversight body representing the mutual interests of city and county government. The Commission’s primary charge was the planning, development and coordination of all officially sanctioned components. Two key objectives were adopted by the Commission: 1. Sanction programs that recognized and honored the historic context of Clarksville and Montgomery County’s role without bias or prejudice. 2. Maximize the local economic impact of tourism during the national and state-wide Civil War Sesquicentennial commemoration. Between January 2010 and June 2015 numerous activities relating to the area's Civil War heritage were planned, organized, produced and presented for public benefit and participation. The scope and nature of these events served to educate and entertain citizens and visitors. Lectures, temporary and permanent exhibits, re-enactments, historic tours, seminars, theatrical productions and music performances were produced and presented by various individuals, organizations and committees. It was the Commission's desire to reach out during the official commemoration period and engage all citizens and visitors with meaningful, insightful programming and activities so that all would have the opportunity to learn about the impact of the Civil War on this area and understand its effect on our society. Civil War Sesquicentennial Commemoration Steering Commission Members: The Commission was comprised of six city-appointed and six county-appointed members. All Commission members served with great volunteer spirit while providing leadership, knowledge and insight to the overall effort. City and County appointed Co-chairs: Frank Lott and Bradley Martin  ORDINANCE 23-2016-17 AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND MAP OF THE CITY OF CLARKSVILLE, APPLICATION OF MERIUM TUMMONS FOR ZONE CHANGE ON PROPERTY AT THE TERMINUS OF BELLE COURT BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLARKSVILLE, TENNESSEE: That the Zoning Ordinance and Map of the City of Clarksville, Tennessee are hereby amended by designating the zone classification of the property described in Exhibit A, currently zoned RM-1 Single Family Mobile Home Residential District, as R-1 Single Family Residential District.

The Commission was provided with administrative staff support and financial management by the Clarksville-Montgomery County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB). Notifications of all meetings, minutes and press releases as well as the management of budget and operating account was provided by the staff of the CVB as well as City and County departments of Public Information. The Commission gratefully acknowledges these services. Clarksville’s Civil War Involvement: Clarksville, a communication and transportation center was strategically significant because of the Cumberland River and the Memphis, Clarksville and Louisville Railroad. The area’s rich agricultural produce—grain, livestock, tobacco, and corn—and the products of its iron industry reached the nation and world via these transportation assets. Fort Defiance was hastily built above the confluence of the Red River and the Cumberland River to protect this pro-Confederate town. When the war began many Clarksville and Montgomery County residents rushed to join Southern military units. After the fall of Fort Donelson and Clarksville’s surrender in February 1862 Union gunboats and troops occupied Clarksville. However, Federal control proved tenuous. The Confederates briefly reclaimed the town in August 1862; it returned temporarily to Union control in September 1862. The Federals occupied Clarksville permanently in December 1862 when Col. Sanders Bruce’s brigade took charge of the town and Fort Defiance, which was then renamed Fort Bruce. Clarksville became a gathering place for white Unionists and escaped slaves who were housed in tobacco warehouses along the river and near Fort Bruce. Eventually more than 3,000 refugees converged on the town, nearly outnumbering local residents. In 1863, after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, the Federals began to recruit free blacks and former slaves for military service. Some 1,800 joined the Federal army and were inducted into the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 101st U.S. Colored Troops in ceremonies on the Clarksville public square. – Taken from “Clarksville in the Civil War,” Civil War Trails Marker Projects and Activities Sanctioned by the Commission: The Commission’s primary role was to Review, Endorse, Sanction and Publicize any Civil War themed projects brought before and approved the Commission by other organizations. Upon approving a proposal, the Commission allowed the presenting entity the free use of the official CW150 logo on any marketing communication or promotional material associated with the sanctioned activity. Funding of the activity or event was the responsibility of the presenting entity. In some cases, grants were allocated to assist the presenting entity with funds to cover such items as hospitality expenses for volunteers or expenses associated with bringing in special guest-speakers/presenters. In 2011, the Commission approved and funded $4,000 for the casting of 50 commemorative medallions of the CW150 logo by the Clarksville Foundry. These were used as special recognition honoring leadership support of the Commission’s activities and for visiting dignitaries and special guests. In 2011, a special appropriation of $7,500 toward a total funding of $40,000 (balance provided by others) was designated by the Commission toward the purchase of a replica 24-pounder cannon with carriage for permanent installation at Fort Defiance Civil War Park & Interpretive Center. The cannon was installed at Fort Defiance Park in June, 2012. Chronology of Activities Events, activities and projects sanctioned and/or sponsored by the CW150 Commission included: 1. April 6, 2010 -- Placement of a replica Civil War cannon Montgomery County Courthouse The placement of a replica Civil War cannon and gun carriage on the corner of the Montgomery County Courthouse Square.

Civil War re-enactors participated in the cannon unveiling and the CW150 Commission unveiled its new logo as part of the ceremony. The cannon was the first to be made in Montgomery County since the Civil War. It is a fully working replica of an 1841 Six-Pounder cast by the Clarksville Foundry, one of the oldest continuing businesses (est.1847) in the state. Clarksvillian, Charlie Foust, president of Clarksville Foundry, is the third generation of his family to head the business.
