It is a nice size town, large enough to have a hospital, 24-hour convenience stores, and familiar fast food, and small enough to feel comfortable. The largest employer locally is Ace Electric. The main square in Columbus has many ornate 1880s buildings and an active retail area. It is a nice place to explore; the Chamber of Commerce has tour maps. Special Events - Columbus has a Hot Air Balloon Regatta as part of its Columbus Day Festival in October. The town also hosts a Carnegie Library, a historical museum and a city park with a Frisco Caboose & 3 Wye Switch and There's a beautiful stone bath house at the swimming pool in the southern part of town.
