About Historic Hope

Historic Hope is operated by Historic Hope Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and interpreting the Historic Hope site. The Foundation preserves the 1803 Hope Mansion, the 1763 King-Bazemore House, and the 1810 Cox House, all listed on the National Register of Historic Places. While the Hope Mansion and King-Bazemore House are open for tours, the Samuel Cox House is a private residence and is not open to the public. The Foundation also operates the Roanoke-Chowan Heritage Center & Museum and preserves Historic Hope’s 45-acre grounds, gardens, and nature trail. Historic Hope Foundation is a member of the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH).
