In 2004 Andover Choral Society celebrated its 75th Anniversary. In 1926 the Square and Compass Glee Club was formed. They began to have regular meetings to learn four-part classical repertoire. They reorganized into the Andover Male Choir, under the direction of John Everett Collins, popularly known as "the music man." This group was renamed the Andover Choral Society and sometimes had as many as 100 members. Every Christmas they presented the ''Messiah''. Soon women were allowed to join the group.In 1985 George Redman took over as director. In 1990 Allen Coombs became the third director. The 75th anniversary was celebrated with a performance of ''Carmina'' ''Burana'' and Bach's ''Passion According to St. John''. The chorus also joined the Merrimack Valley Philharmonic Society in their annual holiday concert. The Andover Choral Society remains open to all who enjoy classical singing and who are committed participants.
A bronze plaque to memorialize and honor the four Andover residents who died in the September 11, 2001 was dedicated at Andover's 10th anniversary tribute. Christopher Morrison died in the World Trade Center.  Millie Naiman and flight attendant Betty Ong died when American Airlines Flight 11 hit the Trade Center.  Len Taylor died when American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon.
