Ada’s involvement in World War II is a project underway this spring by Leland Crouse, Ada historian. And, he is looking for contributions from Icon viewers.
“I am doing research of Ada and World War II,” he told the Icon.
The project covers many things involving Ada during this period of the 20th century. Here’s some of the areas that Crouse’s research involves:
• What the community was asked to do

This is what happens when you show up for a photo and all the work is completed. Village employees "did a number" on the railroad depot park today as the temperatures climbed to the mid-60s. Cleaning away brush and last year's leftovers, you can see some purple and white flowers showing off. Check out additional photos of the park in this series.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service 2017 Census of Agriculture ranked Hardin County 5th in total market value of agricultural products sold in the state of Ohio.
Conducted once every five years, the census aims to get a complete and accurate picture of American agriculture.
The resulting data are used by farmers, ranchers, trade associations, researchers, policymakers, and many others to help make decisions in community planning, farm assistance programs, technology development, farm advocacy, agribusiness setup, rural development, and more.
