BAGDAD VILLAGE HISTORIC DISTRICT
NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES - SANTA ROSA COUNTY, FL
The Bagdad Village Preservation Association welcomes visitors to tour Bagdad's Historic District. Touring the village will introduce a few highlighted sites that give a glimpse into Bagdad's history as a mill town.
Bagdad Village Historic District:
Tucked under the moss-covered oaks, approximately 150 historic homes remain in Bagdad. The homes portray architectural styles directly related to each era of Bagdad's lumber mill.
These homes range in size from the smallest of the working class to the largest of company executives. As a whole, they represent all levels of life in a typical mill-owned town.
Unfortunately, many of Bagdad's homes, businesses, and community buildings have been victims of fire or demolition over the years. Those that remain have undergone restoration or await their turn.

Preservation of the Historic Bagdad Mill Site has also helped to convey the overall success of the lumber mill and its mill town. From here, the lumber mill and supportive industries used the waterways to facilitate the transportation and marketing of goods to the world making Bagdad one of the most successful lumbering organizations in the Western Hemisphere.
