If you have never had the pleasure of experiencing the Ghost Walk performed by the Santa Rosa Historical Society, you are missing out!

"Now in its 14th year, this year’s tour will start at the Imogene Theatre and stop at 13 locations, including Mount Pilgrim African Baptist Church, West Florida Railroad Museum and the original 1915 site of Milton High School, which is now the Santa Rosa County School District office."

Awesome presentation of the historical events that have happened in Milton, Florida. Kudos, Historical Society!
