Genealogy

Because Anson County was established in approximately 1750 and once stretched all the way to the Mississippi River, there is a wealth of historic ancestral information in the county. Genealogy buffs will find easy access to historic records at the local county courthouse, the genealogy room at the county library and at the Anson County Historical Society.

Galleries have varied hours, please call in advance
