Our Chapter

The Hightower Trail Chapter was organized on February 1, 1985. Our members reside primarily in Cherokee County, Georgia, with a few residing in other parts of the North Metro area of Atlanta and in other states.

The chapter is named for the Hightower Trail, one of the most distinctive trail names in Georgia. As early as 1750 Indian traders from Augusta used this route. Recognized as a former boundary between Cherokee and Creek lands, this trail brought many early settlers into what is now Cherokee County. The trail is not named for a person. The name is a corruption of the Indian word “itawa”, which the early white settlers also turned into the name Etowah.

Our Meetings are held on the 1st Saturday of each month, September through May. For more information, please contact our chapter.
