West Florida Public Libraries and the Molino Mid-County Historical Society host a talk on the history and archaeology of Molino Mills by UWF graduate student, Melissa Maynard, Thursday, April 14 at 6 p.m. This event will be held at the Molino Community Complex, 6450 Highway 95-A North. Maynard will provide insight into a lumber mill which operated along the Escambia River from 1865-1884 and was significant because it helped develop a community and an industry.
Also at the Molino Community Complex, visit the complementary exhibit “The Way We Worked.” This Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition celebrates the history of our nation’s diverse workers and industries on display until April 30. Viewing hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekly, closed Sundays, and open during Maynard’s talk from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
"The Way We Worked" has been made possible in Molino by the Florida Humanities Council. "The Way We Worked", an exhibition created by the National Archives, is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and State Humanities Councils nationwide. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress.
