Like many other community groups, the Ada Historical Society (AHS) is on the rebound following something of a COVID drought in terms of activities and membership.

The AHS is hosting Brandon Place, an amateur artifact collector and history enthusiast, for a presentation at the historic Ada Train Depot,  at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday March 4. The free event is open to the public.

In addition to regular monthly meetings at 7:00 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month at the Ada Public Library, the AHS has a Facebook group where local and out of state history buffs exchange information.

New members are also announced on the Facebook page. During the past year, the society has announced the following:
