Austin Museum Day at the Haskell House Was a Huge Success

Despite the heat and humidity an estimated 350 people visited the Haskell House on Austin Museum Day. That is about double the number we saw last year, which was the first year that the CCDC participated in Austin Museum Day. Many people visited the House for the first time and learned about its history and the history of Clarksville. Soul Man Sam and his band were awesome as usual and we sold lots of merchandise. It was a good day.
