Yellow Trail Research Center

Welcome to the Yellow Trail Research Center! We opened to the public on June 5th 2023, and we are very excited to share the gems of the Hope area and its people with you!​

We are proudly digitizing research material using OCR Technology (Optical Character Recognition). This is the same technology used by Newspapers.com, that has transformed the Genealogy World. OCR allows you to search for text within a document, giving you access to those hidden goldmines.​

Our Collection includes Local Family History Genealogies, Record Books, Scrapbooks, Photos, Documents, Genealogy Ref Books, Magazines and more. From our pioneer days with the Moravians and Martin Hauser, to schools, towns, businesses, military and churches, we are rediscovering, documenting and preserving the rich history of the Hope area and its families. Please come into the Yellow Trail Research Center to see these collections!
