Here's the second "Ada Past and Present" feature. CLICK HERE for the first installment.
Our feature is the Ada First Presbyterian Church on the corner of Main and Lincoln.
Presbyterians were among the first to settle in Ada, so it was only natural for a church to be constructed. The original Presbyterian Church was completed in 1864 and dedicated in 1867.
