Have you seen the signs?

Come take a stroll through time in Ada village.  Hop out of your car, wander the tree-lined village streets, and explore Ada’s rich cultural heritage.  The site map will guide you to ten different interpretive panels that take a then-and-now approach to Ada’s history with text and historic images.  We invite you to come ReDISCOVER Ada!

The finished product is a bite-sized temptation that will leave you wanting more! Click here to see Ada: Historical Momentum.
