In the Spring of 1988, the Bedford County School Board made a decision to sell, by means of sealed bid, the abandoned Counter Ridge Elementary School (now the Sedalia Center). Dr. and Mrs. William McCabe turned in the highest bid and hence became owners of the school building and surrounding seven acres. By October 1989, enough renovation had taken place to re-open the former school for public activities. Because the property is located in the old rural community of Sedalia, the new enterprise was re-named the Sedalia Center. The brick school was called the Stuart L. McCabe Memorial Building in memory of the McCabes’ son who was killed in an accident in 1990. Shortly thereafter, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. “Buzzy” Coleman became partners with the McCabes in the project. Initially, the property was designated as “the Sedalia Center for the Art of Living and the Living Arts” – a phrase judged broad enough to accommodate any activity that this lively common ground could provide.

The Walter Cecil Rawls Library and Museum was first envisioned in 1952 by Walter Cecil Rawls, a St. Louis businessman and native of Southampton County. In searching for a suitable site, Mr. Rawls enlisted the aid of his boyhood friend, Junius W. Pulley who suggested the Courtland location. Both Mr. Rawls, an inventor and amateur artist, and Mr. Pulley desired that the library would include a museum to house artifacts of the county and collections of art.
