Wadesboro is justly proud of its many amenities. The Historical Society maintains four museums: the Boggan-Hammond House; the Alexander Little Wing; the Leavitt House, which contains the Tom Little Artifacts, the F.C. Allen Arrowhead Collection, and a Wadesboro High School Memorabilia room; and the Ashe-Covington Medical Museum.
The Arts Council has a gallery featuring local artists in its office on Rutherford Street, next door to the Ansonia Theatre. The theater was recently renovated and seats 273 people. Recent productions were "A Christmas Carol," War Bonds, the songs and Letters of World War II" and "Sandy B. and the All-Stars."
Olde Mill Gallery, also maintained by the Arts Council, is housed in the Lockhart-Taylor Center (South Piedmont Community College). Nationally-known artists in oil, mixed media, watercolor, wood, ceramics and jewelry are shown there.
