Thursday, January 13, 2011. Something's bad on Twitchell Hill. After digesting a string of movies recently about the supernatural world of ghosts and apparitions one "sees" these days, I started thinking (again) of the scary stories and places we had to deal with in '50s Baldwyn. There was always someone's house on the old road on the hill, it seems, that got a lot of visitors continually. I remind you of that because if some folks couldn't get their thirst quenched by a milkshake or a cola of some s...

Friday, December 17, 2010. Football Career Opportunity 1944. A contract for a prospective player to the Packers in 1944. This was a great opportunity for a young man in that time period. Young ball players around Baldwyn and the area often sought to be recognized for their playing skills in order to be picked up by Mississippi Colleges or even other adjacent states teams.

Thursday, April 21, 2011. This is a photo of a bygone street marking system in downtown Baldwyn. I guess I never really noticed it back in my youth, but these had been there a very long time. This particular spot is in front of the old Farmers and Merchants bank, now the Baldwyn News building. The location is also in the lower right hand corner of the blog header photo.

Saturday, July 9, 2011. Scouting in Baldwyn in 1953. An excerpt from the Baldwyn Weekly News from 1953. Scouting was a way of bonding with fellows in those days, and we were taught many ideas that helped us later in life. Scouting especially taught boys and girls to be self sufficient, and that hard work to achieve skills was important to make advancements. Submitted by Tom Shellnut. Thanks, Tom. Posted by Carl Houston. Carl, can you give us some names on this? Script doesnt enlarge clearly. Thanks.

Thursday, February 10, 2011. Tabernacle and Boy Scout Hut about 1943-44. The lower picture was made by someone standing in the intersection of 3rd and Main in Baldwyn. The buildings on the right are the downtown school lunchroom and the tabernacle. The burned out brick facade of the old downtown school still looms in the background. The tabernacle was moved to a place further South later and I do not know its' fate. The Baldwyn post office is located on this property now. Posted by Carl Houston. Some pho...
