A Town Called Hope
Hope is a small, proud, rural community just fifteen minutes northeast of Columbus, Indiana that is known as a “Surprising Little Town” for many reasons, including its unique landmarks and hidden treasures.
The town is centered around the town square, where you will find a bandstand, local businesses, the local library, a park and playground, the town hall, and even a community museum. It is a place where visitors are always welcome.
