hen I was growing up, my family moved a lot. We lived in seven states and ten cities. I went to three different high schools. Yet despite living just about everywhere, I have never felt more at home than I do here in Gallatin. My heart feels like I should have been born and raised here.

"I’ve lived all over the country. Gallatin is home to me."
Gallatin is a beautiful city with residents who are gracious and e c in t ne c ers hich n i ressi e an en earin have lived in cities where residents were opposed to any form of growth. Today, those cities are dying. Fortunately, that is not the case here in Gallatin. Our beautiful city is growing, and in all the right ways. Our city leaders have done an outstanding job of navigating and choosing opportunities that will make our community better and stronger. I love having a ringside seat to Gallatin’s evolution. As you explore this edition of the Gallatin City Guide, I encourage you to venture out and explore the people, places, and things covered in these pages. I hope you discover, as I have, that Gallatin is a place where True Grit and Amazing Grace come together in the most beautiful way. Respectfully yours, Kit Sinyard Chairman Gallatin Area Chamber of Commerce
