The New Hope Baptist Church was organized around 1860, burned
in 1863, and was rebuilt in the fall of 1864. Once called the
Harris Colored Baptist Church, the edifice's name "New Hope" was
chosen because it represented the hope of people struggling for
a new beginning and a place to worship God. The church's
graveyard is the burial place of members of the United States
Colored Troops, veterans of the Civil War. The war itself also
came to the Harrisburg area. Units of Confederate General John
Hunt Morgan's infamous raiders rode through northern Gallia County
on July 18, 1863, taking for themselves horses, food, and
valuables. In pursuit, Union forces confiscated horses, hay, and
other goods from area residents, including
those of two men from Harrisburg.
