Have loved this neighborhood since the first time I saw it over twenty years ago, and now, since 2015, have enjoyed the privilege of calling it home. The quaint cottage style homes coupled with its historical origins makes it a pretty special place to live.

I grew up on Brentwood. My parents still live there! I’ve been very upset at the way the history of the Cahaba Project has not been respected by many new buyers or developers. I am happy to see that people are trying to now do something about it. Let me know how I can support your efforts!

This site is such a wonderful way to better educate our community about the historical Cahaba Project! I have enjoyed teaching children about The Great Depression and this area that was once established by FDR and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. We live in a truly special place!

I would like to better understand the mission of this organization. As Ms. Robbins stated above, it is sad to see what is happening to this community, and that no one seems to care because it continues unabated. If you allow the things that make this community special to be destroyed soon it will be no different than any other community.

CHHF has done an exceptional job of educating the community on the unique and special nature of the Historic District. Ultimately, it becomes a challenge for the City of Trussville. City leaders must first decide to place a higher value on having this historic site honored for future generations verses serving special interests who currently hold sway over the City.
