Green Tree Mall is located in Clarksville, Indiana on State Highway 131. Built in 1968 along what was then McCullogh Pike, on ground that had for years been a cornfield, it became the catalyst for Clarksville's northern growth, as developers saw building at Green Tree and the surrounding area preferable than building two different stores in New Albany and Jeffersonville.

JCPenney and Sears were the initial anchor stores, with the mall laying entirely between the two stores. A 5 & 10, Danners, was also a prominent initial draw. JCPenney and Sears are still at their original locations, and Dillard's anchors the back annex. This Dillard's was originally Ben Snyder's and later Hess's. The first Texas Roadhouse is still located at the mall. A food court was originally in the back annex, but it was never popular and the area became part of Dillard's and other stores.

River Falls Mall opened across the street in 1990. When Bacon's, one of River Falls' anchors, was acquired by Dillard's, Dillard's moved its men's department to the former Bacon's, while keeping the women's department at Green Tree Mall. In 2004, Dillard's closed the men's store at River Falls Mall as that mall declined, and returned the men's department to the Green Tree store, making that store a full-line Dillard's once more.

The mall is owned by Los Angeles company Macerich.
