"You really cannot separate these two towns. Milton is one of the oldest cities in the state, having been incorporated in 1844 before Florida became a state. Florida was still a territory and did not achieve statehood until the following year, 1845. Bagdad is a small historic town on the south edge of Milton that has also done a good job of preserving some of their old buildings". (Backroad Florida)

It is interesting to see some of the oldest towns in Florida and how the community recognized them as historical and continue to maintain and restore many building. Milton/Bagdad are almost inseparable. We couldn;t recognize if we were in Milton or Bagdad (except for the Post Office). No matter what town you visit, it is always more to see and find when you pass through a second (or third time).We loved the church and met the Pastor who was kind enough to invite us in for 'photo peek'.
