Clarksville is nestled in the middle of what is known as Old West Austin. The neighborhood is bounded by West Lynn on the east, Mopac on the west, 10th Street on the south and Waterston on the north. Dating back to the 1870's, Clarksville is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Austin and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since the late Seventies. Two historic landmarks are located in Clarksvile: the Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church and the Haskell House. Many homes in the neighborhood are historic as well.     Neighborhood Programs/Events CCDC (neighborhood association) meetings The CCDC board of directors meets every month but December on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. Meetings begin at 6:30PM and are held at the Clarksville Community Center, 1807 West 11th Street. Board discussions include neighborhood issues and concerns. All neighborhood residents are invited to attend Haskell House Restoration The intial phase of this project is completed. The CCDC board is currently trying to raise money to archivally frame the historic photos it wants to display inside the Haskell House.
