Rural mail museum returns to Hope

HOPE, Ind. — After a four-year absence, the Indiana Rural Letter Carriers Association Museum will return to the town of Hope.

The building at 638 Main St. has been acquired to serve as the new home of the Letter Carriers museum, according to a Tuesday announcement from long-time Yellow Trail Museum leader Barb Johnson.

Located immediately south of the Yellow Trail, the building formerly served as a studio for Michael Arford, a highly-decorated Indiana State Police master trooper who became a professional photographer after retiring from law enforcement in 1993.
