Ashland County Historical Society

About Us

Established in 1951, the Ashland County Historical Society’s (ACHS) mission is to bring Ashland County history to life through preservation, education, and community engagement. Comprised of six buildings, the ACHS is in the heart of the Center Street Historic District less than two minutes from downtown Ashland. The ACHS is open to the public for self-guided and guided tours Tuesday-Friday and offers signature programs year-round for learners of all ages.

The Ashland County Historical Society’s mission is to make history come alive through education, preservation, and community engagement.

ACHS’s vision is to create a fun and educational destination that promotes social and historical experiences, accessible to all. To grow and preserve our beautiful properties and maintain the archives and artifacts of Ashland County’s historic past. To foster vital relationships among the community, its members, volunteers, the board of trustees, and staff.
