The Ionia County Town of Clarksville, Early 1900s
If you attempt to do any last train to Clarksville jokes to any townsfolk here.they ve heard em all, dozens, hundreds, THOUSANDS of times throughout the years (even so, the town uses that phrase on their official website). But yes, there is a railroad that cuts through Clarksville, the Pere Marquette, that still operates to this day. The Last Train To Clarksville was probably yesterday.
The small Michigan town of Clarksville has plenty of quaint, old original storefronts dotting the downtown area. It s located 43 miles west of Lansing, 28 miles east of Grand Rapids, and 2 1/2 miles south of I-96 on Nash Highway in the southwest corner of Ionia County, nestled in Campbell Township.
