The Anson County Historical Society was formed in the 1950’s by a group of Ansonians interested in preserving the heritage of Anson County. It is a nonprofit organization that is funded by donations only (not tax supported).

The majority of the funding we receive is used for the maintenance and upkeep of: The Boggan-Hammond house and the Alexander-Little Wing that are furnished with period furniture and other artifacts representing everyday life in the late 1700’s and early to mid 1800’s. The Tom Little Museum and the Wadesboro High School Museum are housed in the historic Leavitt building. We are also proud of the Ashe-Covington Medical Museum and Garden that enhances uptown Wadesboro.
