HOPE Events icon Grand Re-Opening Planned for Legion Street & Strawberry Alley

The City of Clarksville will host a grand-reopening of Legion Street
and Strawberry Alley on August 29th from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

In the 1920’s in Downtown Clarksville, the area from Public Square
to Second Street known as Strawberry Alley was widened and extended to Third Street as well as renamed Legion Street in honor of World War I veterans. Strawberry Alley had been so named in honor of Mrs.Lucinda Elder, wife of Clarksville’s first Mayor James Elder, because the street was constructed across her strawberry patch.

Over the last several months, Legion Street has undergone a major
transformation with the addition of wider sidewalks featuring brick
pavers, new landscaping, additional street lighting and the
conversion from overhead power lines to underground power over the entire length of the street.

The Clarksville City Council approved by a majority vote in August to rename the portion of the road from Public Square to Second Street as Strawberry Alley to preserve the past, and the portion from Second Street to Third Street to remain named Legion Street to continue honoring World War I veterans.

The Grand Re-Opening Celebration includes a ceremony commemorating the re-designations of Legion Street and Strawberry Alley. The official ceremony will begin at 6 p.m. and includes a wreath laying to commemorate the designation of Legion Street as a tribute to World War I veterans. The ceremony will also focus on the past, present, and future of both Legion Street and Strawberry Alley. The celebration includes live performances by Bump City, outdoor dining with area restaurants, balloons, face painting, chocolate dipped strawberries, and more. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 645-7444.
