In reply to Melissa White. South Bethany Christian Church, located west of Columbus on what is now known as Youth Camp Road, was also started by New Hope in 1849.

Very much enjoyed reading your blog. I was born in Bartholomew County Hosp. in 1929 (the first in my family to be born in a hospital). We lived at 615 Cottage Ave. – right next door to the Fulks Mill and home. My father worked for Reeves Pulley Co. for probably 45 years, starting in 1917 as office boy when they had their old contrary horse names “Peanuts”. Knew Lenore McDougal well as well as many of the office workers at Reeves. I belonged to the First Christian Church and was a Girl Scout when the new building was constructed. I was one of the original “guides” through the new building. Grew up there and left in 1955. All very interesting and “thanks” for all of the work compiling it

This is by far the most ugly school building ever created. I thought I was driving by a prison until I noticed it was actually a school. This “project” only illustrates the incompetency of our government and as a community we should take every step possible to dismantle this atrocity and replace with something that makes kids not regret their existence. We need beautiful architecture that invokes the best from human beings. Not a monolithic slab of no creativity. Let’s take action and change the world in name of the children.

New Hope Christian Church/Church of Christ- Organized in 1829 at New Hope under the leadership of Joseph Fassett. Other members included Benjamin Irwin, Joseph Vanmeter, William S. Jones, Samuel Crittenden, Daniel Singer, John Irwin, Rufus Galed, Hiram Troutman, and their wives. The first edifice was a framed structure that was replaced in 1872 by the present building (with additions coming later).

Columbus Church (Tabernacle Church of Christ/First Christian Church)- “The first house of worship in Columbus was built in 1841 and services alternated between New Hope and Columbus until July 1855 when a separate congregation was organized at Columbus, composed of about sixty members. The first house (of worship assumed) in town was destroyed by fire in 1953 and was immediately replaced by a brink structure on Jackson Street.” The publication goes on to say that another building (Tabernacle Church of Christ) was erected in 1878 for $23,000 and was dedicated Feb. 9, 1879, by Isaac Errett with Z.T. Sweeny as listed as minister at that time. He preached from January 1872-June 1879.

This information comes from the publication: THE OLD DAYS, THE OLD WAYS, AND THE OLD FRIENDS Being a History and Souvenir of the Christian Churches of Bartholomew County, Indiana and the Church at Nashville, Brown County by James Small for the Bartholomew County Christian Missionary Association 1928

Great site! I love the Christmas ornaments. I have one from every year and looking for 1 more from 1998…City Hall.., the year my youngest son was born. Do you know of any way to find one to buy. I have asked at the visitors center, but they do not have one.
