The Ada Public Library has a display of local postcards created in late December 2021 by students of history professor Dr. David Strittmatter at Ohio Northern University.
The Icon connected with Aliya Mitchell, a civil engineering major, for details on the exhibit.
Were these cards selected from a larger collection?
We selected the display from over 250 postcards and photos in the Ada Public Library. There were so many interesting ones from class pictures, streetscapes, and people milling about. It was very difficult attempting to narrow the selection down to fit the space provided.
On St. Patty's day, everyone's Irish. On snowy days like these, everyone can feel like a Polar Bear. In this Ohio Northern University Facebook photo, students brave the polar conditions in Ada.
