Hopwood has the most early-American 19th century stone buildings along the National Pike/Old U.S. Route 40, with a number of them being on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1816 President Monroe was a guest at the Hopwood-Miller Tavern, then known as the Moses Hopwood House. Other Presidents and notables stayed there when the building was operated as an inn including John Quincy Adams, William Henry Harrison, James Polk and James Buchanan. Other important buildings include the Barnes Estate, the Summit Inn, and the former Soldiers Orphan's School, a post-Civil War orphan school which is the current property of the Jumonville Training Center.
