Cheatham County Historical & Genealogy Association
Formed in April 1994 by founding members Thelma Heflin, Jim Allen, Betty Cannon, and Mary Grey Jenkins, the Cheatham County Historical & Genealogical Association (CCHGA) strives to gather, preserve, record,
exhibit and share the history of Cheatham County Tennessee.
CCHGA is chartered as a volunteer, non-profit organization.
The Cheatham County Historical and Genealogical Association holds the key to the past. Because of the CCHGA’s hard work and effort over the past thirty years, both personal and area history are right at the fingertips of those interested in Cheatham County history. The Association has accomplished much since its inception. Some of which are: initiating a contest for the creation of the Cheatham County Flag; establishing a cultural museum; publishing the Cheatham County History & Families Book; installing historical markers; cleaning, sorting & filing old records dating back to 1856; providing educational programs to the public and schools; planning the Forest Hill Cemetery Tour to celebrate the Town of Ashland City’s 160th year of founding; conducting various fundraisers which have included Christmas Home Tours, annual Thanksgiving Bake Sales, yard sales, and auctions; assisting other community organizations such as Leadership Cheatham County and the Veterans Organization with information; maintaining a social media presence; and helping local students needing community service hours. The association also provides several special presentations throughout the year with speakers on various historical subjects. The 2024 CCHGA Board of Directors are President Lisa Walker, Vice President David Davidson, Treasurer Dreama Davidson,
Secretary Rosemary Klein, Assistant Secretary Dolly Corbett, Member at Large George Anne Raines and Founding Member Mary Grey Jenkins.
