Library To Uncover “The History Of Molino”
January 14, 2014
The West Florida Library will present “The History of Molino” in a special program later this month.
The event will be hosted by Lil King, president of the Molino Mid-County Historical Society at the Molino Branch Library, 6450 Highway 95A, on Saturday, January 25.
With its location just 25 miles north of Pensacola, the Molino area, including the old town of Molino, played a vital role in the area’s settlement and development. From its start as a Spanish mission in the 1700s, an important mill town during the Industrial Revolution and into the modern era, Molino’s history is the story of life in rural Florida and how it has changed over the years.
The event is a part of the Explore Pensacola History lecture series. For more information, call the Main Library at (850) 436-5060.

In 78 or 79 we did one in a vault on the north side of the sidewalk going to the old lunchroom!!!
This may bear no relevance or maybe a little. I went to molino elementary school and i recall burying a time capsule. I wonder if any of these were found during the construction of the new janet holley building or if there are still any plans to unearth any of these time capsules? Does anyone else know what im talking about?
