Bagdad: Church Museum
The New Providence Missionary Baptist Church, pictured above, was donated to the BVPA in 1989 and moved to its present site on Church Street. It currently houses the BVPA Museum and Gift Shop. The Museum is open on the first Saturday morning of every month and for special events, educational and private tours. The Museum Complex includes the Museum building and a "shotgun" style house with a kitchen, restrooms, office that functions as the headquarters of the BVPA, and a room decorated in the style typical of the 1920s era.
