OUR HISTORY

Cornstalk  Heights Historical Community Organization (CHHCO), a non-profit  organization, was started in 1990. Killeffer Park, one of the  community's premier parks, was under threat of being sold with  construction of a planned housing project in its place.

A  community organization was formed to protect and save not only the park,  but the surrounding historic home district in Harriman as well. The  organization successfully applied to the National Historic Register and  became officially recognized as Cornstalk Heights Historical Community  Organization. The application was partially approved due to the  community's uniqueness in being one of the first "planned" communities  in the country.

The Harriman Cornstalk Heights District was listed  in the national register of Historic Places in September 1990 for its  historical significance.
