A two-point set is a subset of the plane which meets every planar line in exactly two-points. We discuss the problem "What are the topological symmetries of a two-point set?". Our main results assert the existence of two-point sets which are rigid and the existence of two-point sets which are invariant under the action of certain autohomeomorphism groups. We pay particular attention to the isometry group of a two-point set, and show that such groups consist only of rotations and that they may be chosen to be any subgroup of S~1 having size less than c. We also construct a subgroup of S~1 having size c that is contained in the isometry group of a two-point set.
