Churches and Schools
Like most small towns, churches of various denominations, cemeteries, and schools are dotted in and around Ashland, Virginia.
Kiddie Kingdom
Kiddie Kingdom was started in September 1968 as an outreach ministry of the Sunday School Department of Ashland Christian Church. Originally a half-day program, it was expanded to provide all-day care in 1969, and became the first licensed childcare facility in Hanover County.
John M. Gandy School
In 1948, Hanover County passed a bond referendum for the construction of a new school for black students. John M. Gandy School, named after a president of Virginia State University, opened for the 1950-51 school year.
St. Ann’s Catholic Church
Built on a tiny lot on England Street as St. Ann's Catholic Church in 1892, this building served the growing Roman Catholic population of Ashland for 89 years.
