Featured Exhibit:
THE EVER CHANGING RIDGE - KNOWN AS "ADA"
The Ever Changing Ridge (ADA) A thriving little community was located where Long
Pond Road crossed Ridge Road around 1900. This was called Ada because the local
postmaster came from Ada, Michigan, and named it after his former place. After
rural free delivery was instituted, the name fell into disuse. Today, the Greece
Town Mall is on the site of the old post office.
The exhibit will include pictures and artifacts from Buckman's, Former Greece
Town Hall, Greece Grange, Greece Baptist Church, St. John's Catholic Church, and
other related homes and businesses up to the present time.
