Customs House Roof Revival

The historic Customs House Museum in Clarksville, built in 1898, is undergoing a major $2.5 million roof renovation after severe hail damage in May 2024. With scaffolding expected for over a year, The Tradesmen Group is leading the project, funded mostly by the city and storm insurance. Despite the construction, the museum stays open, with plans to accelerate the copper’s patina and maintain pedestrian access. Once completed by summer 2027, this restoration will preserve the building’s iconic look — including its federal eagle details — while honoring its storied past as a tobacco industry hub and tornado survivor.
