What it’s like
The place. Adena is a small village in Jefferson County, Ohio, with a quiet, close-knit feel. Household incomes here run below the county's, and homes are among the more affordable you will find. Very few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with snow most years, and summers are warm, with steady rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Jefferson County, some of the largest workplaces are Trinity Hospital Holding Company, Franciscan University of Steubenville and Eastern Gateway Community College. The county has lost some jobs over the past year, and unemployment has eased since a year ago. Most people travel a fair way to work, and very few work from home.
Things to do. The closest outing is Hodgen's Cemetery Mound, an archaeological site a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Meadowcroft Rockshelter, a museum, and Grave Creek Mound, another archaeological site. Oglebay Park, a garden, is also a longer drive away.
