About Hartsville

Hartsville is a quiet rural community in Bartholomew County with a population of just over 300. Located about fifteen minutes east of Columbus, it offers a peaceful, slow-paced setting while keeping everyday conveniences, jobs, and dining within a short drive. The town was founded in the 1830s around a traditional town square that still anchors the community today.

Hartsville, Indiana

Back in the nineteenth century, Hartsville was home to a small regional college until a campus fire in 1898 brought that chapter to an end. Today, a historical marker in the square marks the old grounds, which now serve as a quiet park for local residents. For anyone looking for wide-open space, low-key country living, and an easy commute into Columbus, Hartsville has plenty of small-town charm.
