The charter for what we know as Austin Peay institution of higher education may have been signed in 1927, but this campus has been a home for education far predating APSU. The university's urban campus has stood in downtown Clarksville for more than 180 years and has housed five educational colleges: Rural Academy, 1806-1810 Mt. Pleasant Academy, 1811-1824 Clarksville Academy, 1825-1848 Masonic College, 1849-1850 Montgomery County Masonic College, 1851-1854 Stewart College, 1855-1874 Southwestern Presbyterian University, 1875-1925 Austin Peay Normal School/State College/State University, 1927-present The Castle Building, an architectural wonder pictured in the gallery below, stood on campus from 1850-1948. Austin Peay State University is mission-driven, community-minded institution that provides transformational experiences through innovative, creative, and scholarly activities. We welcome and inspire an inclusive community of learners to make a positive impact regionally and globally.
