Muscogee, Florida
Muscogee, Florida is a ghost town located twenty miles northwest of Pensacola, Florida along the Peridio river. It was founded in 1857 by a group of lumbermen harvesting timber. The associated lumber mills employeed over a thousand men and the town had a population of 300 to 400. In 1928, the mills were abandoned and the land and town were sold.
Aside from the cemetary, little evidence remains of what was once an important lumber town.
Famous aviator, Jackie Cochran was born in Muscogee.
