Multiple plots on the Hope Ranch property, and other Columbia area sites, have been scouted for their archaeological significance and anthropological history. Be prepared for some real digging, as we explore the territory with an eye to excavating the hidden past and share in the exhilaration of finding lost treasures in the Missouri foothills.
