    Great visit and I learned a lot. Wish my kids would have let me spend more time looking around.

    We really enjoyed this museum! We were super impressed by it, considering how small of a town Hope is and that it's donation based (make sure to donate!). We had a ton of fun walking around the buildings outside, which all had really interesting items, plus buttons you could press to hear a former resident of Hope explain their story. Definitely worth the stop in Hope, which is a super cute, very small town that we LOVED!

    I'm giving them five because it is such a great effort in such a small place. Nice artifacts, and Dawn was very informative and friendly. Hope is really a tiny even anachronistic place. We enjoyed our little tour there.

    Small village with many original historical cabins still in use. Beautiful mountain and Turnagain views. Great museum documents the history of Hope and Sunrise. Nice paved road all the way out. Several nice campgrounds. Very quiet on a weekday. Donation for themuseum.

    The Hope and Sunrise Historical Society was a highlight of our visit. It features 4 buildings that were moved to Hope for preservation, and a small museum. The docent was friendly and knowledgeable and told us stories about the Gold Rush and Sunrise City. We visited with our kids (15, 12, 9 and 5) and there was a scavenger hunt for them to do as well. They had to go through the museum buildings and find the answers to a number of questions before turning in their completed paper for a prize. Well worth the visit, if you go, please consider a donation, without them, they won't be able to continue their preservation.
