An initial meeting to form a local historical society drew great interest when 11 Ada citizens gathered at the Ada Public Library on Monday evening.

The group considered a name, applying for nonprofit status, discussed what history is located where, considered having a presence on a website and Facebook, and other organizational matters.

The group represented both local townspeople and the university: people who collect history, longtime residents, the ONU archivist, a history professor and student majoring in history, community leaders, and others.
