Hope Park was established by Johann Mibus and his family in the mid 1850s, and continues to remain in the same family. No architect or builder has been associated with the design of the building. The building is in very good condition and retains a high degree of integrity.
How is it significant?
Hope Park is of historical significance to the township of Tarrington and the Southern Grampians Shire.
Why is it significant?
Hope Park is of historical significance as an excellent representative example of a self sufficient house and small parcel of land which was typical of the German Lutherans who arrived in the area in the 1850s. The complex also indicates a social history significance as it demonstrates the relationship between generations and the notion of extended family, evident in the small timber structure which became the parent's home when children took over the main home. Of further historical significance is the long continuous association which Hope Park has had with the Mibus family, and the German Lutheran community for over 130 years continuously.
