Community volunteers and resident hosts have built a barn quilt trail to celebrate the rich rural heritage of our city, Chattahoochee Hills, GA. We hope the Chatt Hills Barn Quilt Trail will inform -- and delight -- our friends, neighbors, and visitors.
Piecing together our heritage. One Barn Quilt at a Time
About the Chatt Hills Barn Quilt Trail Located just 30 minutes south of the world's busiest airport in Atlanta, Georgia, is a hidden gem of a small town called Chattahoochee Hills. Untouched by sprawl and mega development, this community made an intentional decision to preserve its rural heritage when it incorporated in 2007. Today, visitors come from all over metro Atlanta to enjoy a day in the country at our Serenbe Community, bicycle our 25-mile Scenic Byway -- the first in Georgia -- or explore the natural beauty of our parks and the Chattahoochee River. Most can't believe that there is such a beautiful country setting so close to Atlanta, and they wonder, "What's our story?" We invite you to tour our Chatt Hills Barn Quilt Trail and learn more about what makes our community so special. Each painted barn quilt is based on a traditional cloth quilt design, and each tells a story about our Chatt Hills heritage. To begin with, we introduce Kenny Smith and his family who have served the community for more than 100 years with their Smith Grocery Store. We honored Smith's Store with the first barn quilt on our trail. == For more photos and the hosts' heritage story, visit their Barn Quilt Page.

7630 Rico Rd (in Chatt Hills GA) Discovering a Sweet Haven. . . in Chatt Hills Missy Scott and Eddie Brock weren't looking for a new home when they first discovered Rico Road during a road trip to visit friends and family. But something about its winding, tree-lined road, working farms, and rural charm captured their hearts. Before long, they traded the hustle of their crowded Florida community for a Sweet Haven in Chattahoochee Hills. To celebrate the move, Missy's sister, Andie, painted the Thistle Rose barn quilt as a housewarming gift. Inspired by their family's Scottish heritage and Missy's love of gardening, the design is a fitting welcome to the place she now calls home. == For more photos and the heritage story, visit the Sweet Haven Barn Quilt Page.
