15 Dec 1936. Saw this and thought I would share.
Can anyone tell me who to talk to about replacing the "Bagdad Village" signs?

If you know who said this line, you may be interested in a Saturday authors luncheon in Bagdad.

I found a news article from 1994 Pensacola paper discussing that the home 2 doors down from your main building (museum) was donated by the son (Constantine Mitchell) - his mother being Leila Martin Mitchell. If I am correct the house # would be 4520 Church Street. From what I gathered from the article the house was later sold to finance additional improvement for the Association.

I would be very interested in any documentation, photos, letters, etc that you might have in your records about this transaction.

I am doing research on Leila (my 2nd cousin) and want to make this part of her story.

I did call the number and left my name and phone # as well.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,
Betty Mitchell Busch
