ONU and the Village of Ada are joining together to honor Civil War veterans from Ada and Liberty Township.
After much research, the names of 81 veterans of the War Between the States have been found and their names, rank and unit will be inscribed on bricks and placed at the foot of the Civil War era canon in Railroad Park. The canon is a monument to those men who fought to preserve the Union and free a people.
