Ada's latest news

This article is the first of several pieces on the village’s history and written by members of The Ada Historical Society.

Prior to WWI, a person strolling Ada’s streets of a summer’s eve would likely have heard the sound of piano music issuing from parlors along the way. Some may have come from player or mechanical pianos and some from pianists.

Helping to maintain this melodious flow was David O. Betz, one of Ada leading citizens and director of the Northwestern Ohio School of Piano Tuning.

Ada is well-known for great places to eat.

Now there’s a new place to eat in town, but you can only look – don’t taste.

Ada fourth graders, working in art class, recently concluded a clay food project.

Kristie Steiner, elementary art teacher, explained the project this way: “Students are asked to choose what food they would like to create using different clay techniques they have learned. 

“After their art is fired, they can paint them to look as 'real' as the food looks.  I have done this project for a few years and the students love it and younger ones look forward to it each year.”
