Welcome to Chatt Hills.

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.

Celebrating our 50th Barn Quilt.
Thistle Bloom at StudioSwan

6401 Campbellton Redwine Rd, Chatt Hills, GA 30213.
Tom Swanston and Gail Foster moved to Chattahoochee Hills in 2005 and were among the first artists to develop a live-work building in the Serenbe Community, becoming its first "unofficial" artists-in-residence.
     In 2019, the couple set their sights on a new/old space when the historic Rico Masonic Lodge building became available. They purchased the lodge and set their talents to work repurposing the space into artist studios, exhibit areas, and workshop spaces to Celebrate the Creative Life in Chatt Hills.   
     When selecting a barn quilt for their StudioSwan, they chose the Thistle Bloom pattern (by Wendy Russell) as a nod to Tom's Scottish heritage.
