This is the second installment of revealing the history of Ada and ONU through the artifacts that have been passed down family member to family member and estate to collector.
As was revealed in the earlier piece, these collectables may seem so strange to us today but there was a time when a memento of one’s connection to place and/or alma mater was as normal as taking a selfie with the Ada Village sign today.
