The Ann Arrundell County Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) organization, was founded in 1962 by nine members of the local community dedicated to preserving and promoting the county’s historical resources.

A hereditary society whose objectives are patriotic, religious, historical, and educational. Our intention is to perpetuate the memory, spirit, and deeds of the men and women in France, known as the Huguenots, who were persecuted during the 16th and 17th centuries because of their adherence to the tenets of the Protestant faith and their devotion to freedom and liberty. The Maryland Huguenot Society is no longer affiliated with the National Huguenot Society

Founded in 1952, this all-volunteer, non-profit organization works to fulfill its mission of preserving and promoting the County’s long and diverse history.
