Interested in history?
Ada’s newest organization is also interested in history. Specifically Ada’s history.
Ada Historical Society, formed in 2017, will hold a carry-in dinner from 5 to 7 p.m., Sunday, June 27, at the Ada Park's new shelter house.
The event is open to persons interested in learning more about the history of the community. This is the first public event of the group since the winter of 2020.
The organization was off to a great start in the fall of 2017. At that time the group decided to officially organize, set meeting dates, elect officers, work on a constitution, non-profit status and set up a membership structure.
