The Hanover Arts & Activities Center combines rich history with a modern appreciation for the arts and education. Originally built in 1859, the building served as a Baptist Church for over 100 years. In 1967, when the congregation moved, the Ashland community worked to preserve the building's historical importance and create a space for the whole community to gather. Today, the Center continues to honor its past while creating innovative activities and events to bring the community together.
