Bagdad: Creary Crawford Walsh HouseJust about every town in Santa Rosa County started out as a lumber town to some extent, as small family-run mills dotted every stream. Established in 1840, Bagdad was the second largest town in the county until the mill closed in 1939. The town is now distinguished by lovely Victorian homes and moss covered oaks.
