How many of you remember this??? Thankfully, it’s one of the few things from that time that’s still left in Ft. Walton.

Florida’s oldest mini golf course comes with a 23-foot T-Rex—and pure retro magic.

Please join Mrs. Henderson's family as they celebrate her 95th birthday! She is the reason why the Baker Block Museum is here. It was the dream of her and her husband to start the museum and we are still here 30 years later. We are very thankful to them and all those that were instrumental in restoring and creating this special place. Please RSVP if you plan on going.

When the Great Depression left millions of Americans unemployed, President Franklin D. Roosevelt responded by creating the Civilian Conservation Corps. Instead of handing out relief alone, the government put young men to work improving the country's public lands.

Over the next nine years, more than three million men planted billions of trees, built roads, trails, bridges, campgrounds, and park facilities across the nation. They earned just $30 a month, but most of it was sent home to support their families. Nearly a century later, many of the places they built are still enjoyed by millions of Americans, making the CCC one of the most successful public works programs in U.S. history.
