Ada's Civil War Monument at the Depot Park--a cannon on a stone base enscribed "Lest We Forget - In Memory of Our Soldiers, 1961-1865" has been cleaned of many years of rust and weathering.

Surface Solution Painting power-washed the granite base and will begin painting the seacoast cannon, forged in 1859 at the historic Tredegar Iron Works in Richmond, Va.

The decommissioned cannon was used during the Civil War in Fort Mifflin, Penn., and arrived in Ada in 1903.
